Re: Winning Strategy?

Engineer on team #330, Beach Bot, from Hope Chapel Academy and NASA/JPL , J&F Machine, and Raytheon. In Reply to: Winning Strategy? Posted by Fred Agnir on 03/19/2001 8:44 AM EST: : Unfortunately for me, I had to leave Los Angeles before the elimination matches. However, before I left, I told everyone who would listen (all two of them) that Team #330 (ranked near 30th when I left) would win over Team #254. I'm glad to know I was half wrong ;-) Fred, First of all, thanks for leaving! ;-) After our first match on saturday we where ranked 30th exactly and in our next match we finally got the right alliance partners and everything clicked. We scored 336. We ended the qualifying rounds in 9th. The Cheesy Poofs pulled a coup in the alliance selection. Besides being paired with a robot that could handle large balls, they chose us with their first choice. Their second choice was 294 who was not only fast and could limbo, but they had successfully pulled a stretcher in an earlier round. They also got 260, another reliable, limbo robot. From there we did our best to get 3 robots in the endzone, cheesy poofs balanced with 1 filled and 1 empty goal, and one large ball in less than 1 minute. Several things went wrong in earlier matches that kept us from completing that strategy, but in our last match it worked and we scored 500 points. Joe PS, thanks for having faith in us, even when we didn't have it for ourselves. |
