Re: Team 71's 2002 robot

I heard from someone that played against that robot that it tracked the middle goal, but if the goal moved then they would only be able to grapple one goal. the middle one. They also said that they developed an auton that would run out to the middle of the field and ram the middle goal in order to throw them off.

There was no autonomous back then, so no tracking. It was all driver speed and robot quickness.
71 could be beat out to the middle goal, like 180 did, but it was rare.
Here's the national semi, team 71 v team 60. 60 just beats 71 to the goals, but 71 wins out. It was possibly the most anticipated match of the year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAmAn...eature=related
71 could grab and push as mentioned, 60 could grab 2 goals, lift them off the carpet and spin them around the robot so no one could grab them. Quite impressive when you consider those goals weighed about 180lbs each.

Not totally true. There was no autonomous period--that came in 2003--but I have heard that one particular team did run mostly without driver control. There were targets on the goals that sensors could see.

Remember, you don't have to have an autonomous period to be autonomous. You can run the entire match autonomously.

Tis true. The mast in the center of the goals had retroreflective tape on them that played horrible games with pretty much any photographer using flash...
But not many teams used them for their intended tracking purposes.
