Car Nack Predicts 01/08/07

[meaubry]

At Great Lakes ther were a number of keepers were scored in multiple matches - some teams
(1114, 67, others) had it down pat - congrats to them, they made good use of the camera

At FLR 1126 and 354 scored quite a few times. 73 and 639 also were able to score as well but since it was only worth 2 points it was hardly worth the effort. Keepers should have been worth more.

But they were the exceptons that prove the rule. Not many keepers will be scored.

I too congratulate them. But had scoring ringers been worth doing, then we would be doing it too.

At Florida, if keepers were the question, the answer was either 233 or 1902. I don't recall anybody else successfully hanging them.

Only one keeper was scored ever in LA and that was by 330. However there were several teams (330 and 1388 were the only ones who were consistently close) that would have score keepers, but the refs moved the rack before every match after teams were off the field and behind the player stations.

No buts about it... that's the way it's supposed to be. See <G07>.

I thought that was the case but I wasn't paying very close attention.

At Boiler -

1730, 45 and 234 all scored keepers in Auto.
Possibly others as well/

[Jeremiah Johnson]

At Midwest, 648 was the only team to score in auton. That happened six times. Three in a row. And the first was a funny little bounce off of a miss.

[Joel J]

I believe UTC had the highest amount of keepers scored, thus far. Every 2-3 matches another team would get one scored. There were also a few matches that had two keepers scored for the same alliance! Very impressive. There was one round where 4 keepers (2 red, 2 blue) were almost scored, but one robot missed, so autonomous ended with three keepers on the rack.. again, very impressive!

[Denman625]

It took a lot with programming for the success with autonomous part. It was great to see other teams place ringers as well. Thanks for the complement.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

A more important question at this point, is how many robots went on to win the match in which they scored autonomously?

I know we did. A row of six in that round clinched it.

At Boilermaker, 931 attempted auto several times and succeeded twice, I think. The first time we ended up on the losing side when our robot (or the supporting robot) was ruled to be supported by a ringer that was compressed between the robots and the alliance station wall. The second time we were on the winning side.

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Al, team 648 won every match but the first one in which we scored autonomous. Just be thankful that we missed 4 of 5 times in the finals. LOL... just kidding, you probably would have beaten us anyways.
