Re: 2007 VCU Regional

There have been some low scores, I think some of which may be contributed to drivers still feeling out their robots. You will see higher match scores tomorrow and especially during elimination rounds. Looks like things are running well and one more thing...FLAME ON!

P.S.: Good Luck to all teams competing for the VCU Regional Chairman's Award. This regional has some of the best Chairman's award team's and I'm happy I don't have to pick. Good Luck!

And the seven in a row was on the middle level not the lower level like I would have expected...

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

Yeah, but now it appears that people have their number. That last match (from what I saw while the stream get cutting on and off) between them and the CircuitRunners #1002 showed that defense is a big factor that has to be accounted for in other regionals.

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

I worked in my office most of the day and was able to keep VCU up on a second computor. I did not keep track of the score, that is available on line. What I did keep track of was how many ringers of any type scored, how many times a robot scored on a ramp and how many ringers were
scored during auton. I was able to see 62 matches. Total ringers scored 210 or 3.4 per match. Total times a ramp was used to score: 40 or 0.6 per match. Total ringers scored in auton: 5 or 0.1 per match. Just as an obervation, unless there was a blow out of six or seven ringer rows, if a team was able to score on a ramp/lift they one. Auton was not a factor at all, especially if compared to last year were many teams had all ready won the match coming out of auton. Anyone else have any comments on today's action at VCU?

I watched every match today (being home sick does have its advantages) and kept notes for every match. I kept track of red/blue keepers/ringers/bonuses(and what height), the score of the match with a note for any penalties, the number of robots moving in autonomous and the number out of those who had possession of a keeper. I put all the results into an Excel spreadsheet, and I'll keep adding them in tomorrow morning.

Once I have the spreadsheet finished and cleaned up a bit, I'm going to upload it onto CD. I think it's a good way to informally gauge how the game is being played overall, although I'd like to have stats from another regional as well since there's so much variation between them.

Anyway, for what it's worth, here are the totals so far at VCU:

Quote:
Number of ringers scored: 225
Number of spoilers out: 17
Number of spoilers on rack: 1
12 inch lifts: 37
4 inch lifts: 18
Average alliance score: 15.52238806
Average ringers per alliance: 2.472527473
Autonomous movement: 101
Autonomous keeper attempts: 53
Autonomous keepers scored: 6

We were in that match, but we didn't think to play defence after our keeper got stuck around our flag so we stayed in one spot the whole game. 122 let their ramps out early.... again, so they had to stay in the home zone and couln't help.

My only comment is to say that you summed it up pretty well. Even when I looked at the match scores from NJ (I was not able to watch that today), it appears that 30 or 60 bonus points could have swayed the match in all but a hand-full of matches.

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

I too watched a few matches as well at school and quickly realized the same thing - LOW SCORING. If you ramped - you usually won, but the number of successful ramping/lifting was much lower than you'd think. Alliances getting on ramps often had the problem with the robot just driving up on them - alignment, clearance, steepness, etc..

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

One team that had a simple ramp had channel ramp that only got your 4 inches or 15 points. 1655 has their ramps U shaped so you are guided in. A lot of teams have it L shaped to guide it in but they end up falling through a space and beaching themselves.
Steepness/clearance is proving to be an issue. That is often solved with a simple push. But it's nothing that is no expected. There are always little things. THAT is part of the fun of a first weekend regional!

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

Wow, 116 and 1086 have been very impressive today.. I wouldn't be surprised if 116 (if they stay focused) wins this thing!

Because of the interest in the stats I took, I've posted the Friday stats spreadsheet as a whitepaper for anyone who's interested.

Didn't any of you out there notice that until a spot of bad luck in their sixth and final match of today, a Rookie (2068) went 5 and 0 and held first place???

Not too shabby for a first year team that got organized in 4Q06. They are one of the good ramp bots here.

When 2086's alliance lost in that sixth match, that is when 116 excellent ring-hanger got a chance to move up into the #1 slot.
