Re: Archi-medes!
I'm with everyone that thinks we'll see three hurdler alliances. We're gonna see some alliances with hurdlers that shoot pick a decent hurdler that places reliably and that can run laps. I personally think though that should we be in a picking position, we've been there twice this year, We'll pick someone with a good auto/hybrid just because if you can gain a lead over a better alliance in hybrid you may just be able to hold them off. I know we won one match in Philly after our alliance got like 9 lines in hybrid and a ball down, it gave us enough of a lead where the other alliance couldn't catch us.

Re: Archi-medes!
Yup that's for sure! From what i've seen from the regionals the first round picks will consist of: 27, 71, 93, 365, 987, 1024, 1124... Let me know if i left out any of the big boys. These guys are the strongest hurdlers from their showings at the regionals this year. The 2nd round picks will be the remaining of the hurdlers left. I think that when it comes down to it, placing for the bonus is still going to be a factor. So having that 3rd hurdler will help if the other 2 are only shooters.
It's going to be really hard to compete in an alliance with just 2 hurdlers... unless they were 2 extremely strong hurdlers with a good hybrid bot. This may end up working in Galileo if 1114, 217, and 148 were alligned together. What do you guys think? |

After I saw them run I was like, that must be Uberbots.Is there video of 1124 them getting 2 ball knocks in hybrid of a match? I am interested to see who can (I've only seen 987 and us do it so far). Does anyone know where I can find 1024 Buckeye vids? I only saw part of the webcast. Quote:

Re: Archi-medes!
Well, first off, sorry if the public service announcement sounded too sam eagle like.
![]() On the whole autonomous thing, for your convinience here's some video of our robot running in lap-mode: >In competition: one, two, and three. >In pre-season test: video >After a recent fix-it (with competition bot gearing and no lane changes, this can make seven lines): video (turn your volume up and you can hear the motors... sounds great!), video with people playing mean and shoving the robot around. In the last two videos there, if you look you can see the claw opening and closing on it's own. This is because the practice robot has no knock-off bar like the competition robot does. To illustrate when the knockoff bar would be up and down, we opened/closed the claw. Also, once we get our robocoach board installed on the competition robot we have the ability to lane-change in order to knock off the ball regardless of which lane it's in. Of course, lane-changing adds distance to your run, so going for a lane three ball from lane one will cost you a line or two so you get about 5 lines and 2 balls instead of six to seven and two if you're on the inside track the whole way round. After we overhaul the drivetrain thursday morning (it has over 75,000ft on it ) we should be all up and ready to go.AR-CHE-ME-DES! -q Last edited by Qbranch : 12-04-2008 at 16:23. |

were a pile of junk and ran everyday. Seen the ones that are super sophisticated that choked as soon as someone turned a light switch on. The difference was "who" was running the machine and taking care of it. Archimedes has Heart. It can make miracles happen. If you believe in your division, your team and yourself anything can happen. I would rather be the underdog anyday. It makes you work hard, adapt and overcome. Previous wins don't make a great Alliance, Heart does and from the Posts that I have seen we have plenty of it. |

our robot's autonomous was also working badly at the CT regional for some strange reason... we have it all fixed up for the nationals. In theory, 5 lines 2 balls no matter what the ball position/starting position is. Its pretty sweet. |

Re: Archi-medes!
So who's got the best hybrid in Archimedes? We can knock down one ball and get 3-4 lines. Our ball knock off works if the ball is in front of us at the beginning about 90% of the time and we get 3 lines if we are not impeded but usually we're impeded at the turn for the 4th line.

Re: Archi-medes!
Our elevator only goes up to knock the ball down if the robocoach gives it the go up signal, if there is no signal then no ball knock off. The only times we missed in Philly were when the signal didn't get to the 'bot in time which is because there's about a .25 second window of error because in the time it takes the robot to move the 27 feet to the overpass ~2 seconds or so is the same time it takes to process the signal from the robocoach and move the elevator up
