 To me, every robot is a moving mechanical art form, a sculpture made of aluminum, motors and gears, and I think that soon we will be seeing those art forms involved in some of the most fantastic robotic "dances" that any of us have ever seen - DougHogg [more] |

Do it like seeding last year...

Posted on 5/5/99 7:58 AM MST In Reply to: Re: Or we could try the easy way... posted by Andrew Trax on 5/5/99 4:25 AM MST: Exactly. If ranking was done as seeding was last year, wins would mean a lot more. Average QPs can be the tie breaker. To point out the difference, my team was 4 of 4 last year and we ended up seeding at 6th place. This year we were 6 of 6. Although you'd naturally think that would be even better, we ended up ranking in the mid-30s. Funny that. A win-based ranking system would reward both defensive and offensive strategies, and would hold both at similar values as in the finals. It makes too much sence! Still, this would bring robots that lose a match due to bad luck way down in seeding. In either case, more matches are needed. My position still stands =) -Daniel |
