Re: intendion of the bridge...

Student on team #365, Miracle Workerz, from Avon Grove High School and DuPont Engineering. In Reply to: intendion of the bridge... Posted by Ken Leung on 03/26/2001 1:09 AM EST: I feel that the bridge is a good contendor in a match. It often times is the difference between a 2.5x multiplyer and a 2x multiplyer. In the Philadelphia Alliance Reagional, we (Team 365) were able to balance 2 goals, 2 big balls, and 11 small balls in 55 seconds because of a balancing 'wing'. In the first elimination round (1st seeded alliance vs 4th seeded alliance), the Tigertrons (Team 222) were in position with their 2 goals, 2 big balls, and 11 small balls within 53 seconds, but could not ballance for another 15 - 20 seconds, causing them to miss the 2.5x multiplyer. So, I believe the bridge is doing what it is supposed to be doing: making it hard to get ballancing multiplyers. It may be easy for the older teams to balance with only their drive trains, but that could only be because of driver skill and not back-driving the motors after power is cut. Rookie teams have difficulty balancing because this is often their first time controlling their robot from 24ft away (to the bridge) with the crowd shouting, music blaring, and pressure on. The bridge was a great addition to the game, but I'd still like to see the head-to-head competition like last year. That would be interesting on a bridge. ~ Captain Jake The Miracle Workerz Team 365 Go Li'l M.O.E.! |
