What Type of Robot Are You?

[BJC]

This is a thread to recognize all the hard work you've put in this season. Be proud of yourselves and everything you've accomplished!



Types of Robots and What They Do:

below-average robots:

Far Zone- These robots are basically there to do one thing, get in your way. This can range from irritating to stopping the offense from scoring. However, they generally don’t try to kick balls out of the zone.
Middle Zone- These robots generally try to get in your way so their better alliance partner can control the flow of balls. This can range from irritating to preventing you from kicking balls into your home zone. They may also try to block you from hanging or push balls through their tunnel into their home zone.
Home Zone- These robots generally just try to push balls into the goal, but have a low scoring rate.

average robots:

Far Zone- These robots are still basically there to get in your way. However, they are good at it ranging from stopping you from scoring to completely shutting you down. They generally don’t kick balls out of the zone because they are too busy defending you.
Middle Zone- These robots are able to pretty successfully control the flow of balls towards their zone. This will range from pushing balls up over the bump to quickly kicking balls into their home zone. Although, these robots generally cannot score from the middle zone they may be able to hang for bonus points.
Home Zone- These robots generally push balls into the goal. This ranges from scoring a couple balls a match unguarded to being able to maneuver and push balls consistently even under defense.

above-average robots:

Far Zone- These robots range from completely shutting you down to starving you of balls. Oftentimes they don’t so much play defense as kick all the balls down the field. They also might try to flip you over so as to take you out of the match. Oftentimes, the offense will become the defense as the offensive robot tries to prevent all their balls from being kicked out of their reach.
Middle Zone- These robots are very good at controlling the flow of balls towards their home zone. They range from being able to very quickly kick balls to their home zone to being able to consistently score from the middle zone. In special cases they may even lock onto the tower and redirect balls directly back into their home zone. These robots may also be able to hang consistently for bonus points and may possibly be able to suspend another robot.
Home Zone- These robots range from very constant under defense to if it’s in the zone it’s in the goal. These robots can out maneuver and / or out push the defense effectively rendering them useless.

imaginary example:
Team 4000 is below average in the Middle zone because their kicker can't kick over the bump. However, because of their mech wheels they are very quick and agile making them pretty good in the Home zone pushing multible balls in at a time and the Far zone where they consistantly put themselves between the offense and the goal. They can also sometimes hang but have trouble going over the bump and lining up to do so.


Be Honest, explain you reasons for puting what you did if you want to, complement others, and be happy, you made a robot and had fun doing it! Remember, if you made it to a compitition your already a winner!
