2010 Highest Scoring Match

[Caio]

I've been trying to find how high people can go with points this year. Most of the matches are less then 10 points, around 4 or so. Anyone seen an amazing match with a high score?

Also, post if there were any amazing matches in general.

So far the highest I can see is:

11 points - FLR Match 45

Alot of 9 pointers to go with that... But other than those few big ones.. The average has been really low.. a lot of zeros being put up..

KC has a tie with that

11 points - KC match 32

Penalties are a big factor in many of the matches.

My initial reaction to the game rules was: "The year of the PENALTY!".

Team 25 in NJ posted 8 points today alone in a practice match. I could see them coupled with a few other bots reaching 15 or so

my teams last match today at GSR was an amazing 7 to 7 (it actually ended up being 6 to 7)...
one of our aliance robots was disabled from the beginning of the match, so we fared pretty well.

we lost though, because the other aliance robot got a penalty for something...I can't really remember what it was though...


one of our another amazing matches was when someone switched the battery on our cart (wich has a few broken cells) with the battery on our robot (the cart battery is labled ("CART! NOT FOR ROBOT!" in big letters, so someone was really dumb)...
as soon as the match started, our bot was dipping to 7 volts with the slightest touch of the joysticks, and the CRIO kept going into that power save mode where everything stops...and not to mention that one of our aliance partners had flipped over...
the only bot on our aliance was playing strictly defense in the far zone the whole time to prevent scoring by the other alliance...
it was 1 on 3, and we would have WON 2 to 1, but someone got a penalty on our aliance, so we tied hahaha

I think peachtree takes the cake for highest scoring match so far. My team (1771) won match 46 at 9-4 with team 1002 and 1466. Total score: 13.


Edit: didn't see the post above me
Edit: the 4 points the other team had were also scored by us to give us a higher coopertition bonus

Since it's on the line of scoring whats the highest ya'll have seen penalty wise? One of the games at Peachtree got 22 because a ball fell into the field without going through the sensor(human player jammed it and it popped over the boarding).

That was one team btw. Don't add both together

kettering match #35... 16 pts! 10-6

just to let anyone else know who is posting scores, the "high score" is just for one alliance, not both total

That was a great match. Thank you and congratulations to both of our alliance mates

I had the webcasts for Peachtree and DC going for most of the day. I didn't sit and watch every minute, and was away from my desk alot, but the highest score I saw was 9. ... and many many matches had zero/zero's.

The best penalties I saw was when 4 bots (2 red, 2 blue) were playing "king of the mountain" on both sides of a bump/tower. On both sides of the tower there was a red-blue opposing pair, face-to-face. ... each almost climbing the bump, and each almost toppleing the other. It went back and forth a few times on both sides, then the one blue flips it's red, then the other red flips its blue, and they both got penalties for intentional flipping.

Many many occurances of gobbling a ball within the 3 inch rule ... heck, most of these violations had the 'bots completely swallowing the balls under their high wheel-bases.

... and at those 2 regionals, I saw 2 very dependable tower-climbers, a few that were close, and zero SUSPENDED 'bots.

I'm surprised to hear that. The rules seemed pretty clear that if you were on a bump it was no man's land and you should expect contact outside the bumper zone.

Well, until 8:55, we had a tie for highest-scoring match: 11-3.
We may have the highest score, as of seeding-points: 17, in the same match as above.
