I forget the other Red alliance bot's name/number, but they played a part in the win too.

I believe there was only one bot playing defence againt you guys. 975, my team, got a keeper rung around our flag pole, so we couldn't pick up anymore pieces, our stratigest just forgot to suggest we play defence. Also, 122 deployed their ramps early so they were a nonfactor since they sat in the home zone the whole time.

At the Granite State Regional the high score was 256pts with team 501, I believe 58 and another robot i forgot. This game is really proving to be very well balanced between strategy, defense, and offense. Last years was very fun but this game feels so basic and natural it make the rounds way more competive.

I'm pretty sure that's impossible, unless it's a BYOT match. Bring your own tues, that is. You get 3 keepers and 18 ringers of each color in a match, so that's 21 of each color...with 24 spots to score on the rack. So, unfortunately, we won't be seeing anything over 596.

(Also...two rings of 8 around would be 536, so long as they're also making little rows of two vertically. )

And I say KUDOS to the teams that don't mind playing defense like that and sticking to it. It's not all scoring, as that match proves...high scores come from robots who aren't being shoved around, and that comes from tough teammates who do the countershoving.

But there are robots that put tubes up well and have so much power to just push there way to any spot even if someone is defending. Two speed transmissions, super high traction wheels, and four cim motors seem to be a rare thing on robots this year. It feels like not too many teams went all out on there drivetrain like in previous years

From what I've seen on the webcast, I'd tend to agree. It seems like people went for agility over power this year to maneuver closer to the rack more effectively.

remember the 64 points you would get for having rows of three up. and then add a 60 for ramps...

A few nice wrap arounds today in the NJ Regional, mostly coming from alliances featuring Team 25. Also a nice spoiler by Team 359 on a wrap around!

[DanDon]

Teams 375, 836, and 1676 had a wrap-around during today's first match in New Jersey, with 1676 playing defense.

Amazing match, full bottom row and two on top of a ramp.

And the 7 rows of 8 equals 56 and add all that up and you get 628 points as a max score and if any team does that they would be my hero. and from what i saw it might be team 501. If they had more time.

That match was amazing, and made our alliance of 1474/500/1073 feel a lot better when they only beat us 64-8 in the finals...

1824 has a great ramp and 501 is an excellent stacker, but lemme tell ya, Buzz is going to generate quite a bit of eponymous activity at Nats...
