2009 High Scores

[JesseK]

When you think about the fact that each trailer only (reliably) holds 20-25 balls, it makes sense that we only see a high score of 151. Actually, my prediction is that we'll never see a score above 172 under the current scoring setup ... not even at IRI.

I agree that scores will mostlikely go down because of the reasons already stated.

172 points is a lot. The only reason we had that high score is because the 1) we were with the Beast 2) I think one bot didn't show up and 3) one bot wasn't functioning. Its nice to say we hold the highest score even if the odds were in our favor.

And just because I'm bored of computer concepts...if i did my math correctly by having 24 moon rocks in each oppenents trailer and every super cell was scored you could get 204 points...if my math is correct

[edit nevermind I can't do math either, so I guess your right]

24*3*2 + 4*15 = 204 pts

So you guys are only 74% there. You guys have a few weeks till the championship so get to work on achieving the last 26%!



... now back to work

180 seems like the highest of the highest. 60 points for 4 super cells, plus 120 points for 20 moon rocks scored in each of the three trailers.

151 is a very incredible score and while I don't doubt that teams could reach 160 or 170, I find it unlikely that teams can break far past the 151 mark - probably ending in the range of 151-156

[cziggy343]

the high score at peachtree was 108 with teams 343, 1771, and 57. unfortunatly, this could have been higher because we did not play a smooth match =P

It'd be a neat thing to do at offseason (especially IRI) to put the top three seeds on the field against 3 robotless trailers. Haphazardly dump the opposing "alliance"'s balls on the floor, and set up the top 3 seeds as per usually. Then watch 2 minutes and 15 seconds of chaos.

IRI human player competition idea: 6 trailers are randomly parked on the field. The human goes to a randomly-assigned station and gets every ball from the field. The winner is the one who scores the most in one match.

Robot version: Without a trailer or defense, score as much as you like for 2 minutes.

All 3 robots on the opposing alliance were there, and driving, after reviewing video of that match.

2 of them didnt have an auto mode however

Plus that 151 was still actually a 161 in total points, 10 point human player penalty

According to our scouts(all 12 of them); we(1625) put in 37 balls(woot), 71 put in 21 balls, and 2741 gets props for a supercell, and human players did the rest.

Teams 40, 2079, and 2199 just set a high score for week 4 with a score of 142 at the Chesapeake Regional.

I think that a defense will play a big factor in the later regionals. One thing to keep in mind is that during qualifications matches (when a strong alliance might have an easier time running the score up), teams are interested in increasing their ranking score and will score on their own alliance to improve their seeding position. Oddly this ends up hurting many of the other ranking and scouting statistics. The teams that thoroughly understand the strategy required for this game will not try to run up the score during qualifications.

Our strategy is to leave a 30-40 point lead (when we are lucky enough to get it) to prevent a last minute loss due to super cells. After that we will score on our own alliance.

During eliminations you want the margin to be double the opposing alliances score minus 1 to prevent empty cell penalty.

MD Q57 == Chesapeake Q57.

It's just a lot easier to abbreviate Maryland than Chesapeake.
