Nooo... no one knows that you have flame side panels, elevator lift, quick drive system.

I'm positive that this same lack of attention is taking place after being drafted second in Portland, and being alliance captains in San Diego and Las Vegas.

No one pays attention to a team who didn't score below 3 ringers in a match in SD, averaging 4.4.

Yep.. and no one knows that you won the Las Vegas regional, with the Poofs and Skunkworks and has the "spoiler D" up your sleeve.

oh... did I just say all of that?

Which brings to mind, how many of the teams in Galileo can do autonomous scoring?

We can adjust ours to work with others. So who out there besides 1902 has auto mode that works consistantly?

As far as I can remember, there are about 3 or four. Last I checked, Sparx' worked very well.

In my last post, I listed the teams in Galileo that have an autonomous mode that at least attempt to score - whether or not it works consistently is a different story, but at least this narrows down the list of possible teams.

I'd say that 79, 237, 1126, 1425, 1730, 1902, and 2056 all have pretty consistent autonomous modes. 1680 also has one of the more accurate autonomous modes.

Oh wow. If autonomous mode is ever going to shine this year it will have to be in this division.

As a rookie team last year we had the privilege to be in Archimedes finals with 233 and 33. All three of us had an auto mode. It was just wonderful to watch.

233 and 33 were high shooters and nailed many. We were a low scorer and had to do it from the far position, we never thought we would use it but in the finals we did.

See Google video of one of those matches.

It would be fun to do that again with one of you at Galileo.

1369, 1319, and 34 also seem to be high up there, can't wait to watch the live feed.

Don't forget 1902, who is (statistically speaking) one of the 4 or 5 most accurate autonomous teams during regional competition. They are also probably the quickest, typically scoring in well under 10 seconds, with plenty of time to also get prepared to start operator control.
I'd expect several others team to have made significant improvements from the regional season as well.

Thanks. One of our guys just put this video together.

I know this is bragging but as a mentor I can't help but to be proud of the team.

Or let's look at it the other way. How many teams made it in to the elimination rounds that the predictions didn't see coming? When the full compliment of teams in the elimination rounds are lined up agains the prediction list, it plays out like this:

Lock -Identified as a "Lock" in the prediciton
Bonus - Identified as a "Bonus" in the prediciton
U-T-R - A team that flew "Under The Radar"

Not too bad of a record. But just remind me not to bet with Dr. Joe if we ever go to Las Vegas together (partiularly during the NCAA semi-finals).*

I wouldn't call 2056 UTR. They were getting mad hype.
How did everybody miss 1425? They were spectacular!

They should have been classified as a tip, but the tip never exactly gave their number. The "rookie sensation" tip was 2056, just it never directly said so.
