It paid off, it defiantly put them higher up in the rankings, and while they did sacrifice their no loose score, sometimes to take it all you have to do something like that. |

Re: Curie 2010!
Karthik is know for understanding all the ramifications of strategy. Having the two robots defend the blue goals is key to keep the winning team from defecting from any agreements.

That's so insane. I wish I could have watched it (webcasts are giving me issues). Great job teams! |

Surprising, and gracious, that Simbotics was willing to give up their no-loss 55-0-2 season for this match...! WOW!!!

* I make the assumption that 1114 figured there was a reasonable chance they'd lose the match, because if they knew they could win then then they obviously would have played straight-up. |

Re: Curie 2010!
I think that we need word from 1114 as what their intent was, and when they decided to use this strategy.
By your post, Dave Flowery, I assume that the 6v0 was not decided ahead of time. |

Re: Curie 2010!
It was a poor choice of words, I admit. I was trying to convey what a big deal it would be, at least to me, to give up a 'perfect' record for the strategy gambit. Perhaps this is better stated as the perfect embodiment of why the new system is less than desirable: decide that you will probably have a hard time winning, even though you've had a 'perfect' record so far in 3.5 events, and instead of "going for it", admit defeat and go for the strategy. Totally the best strategy, just made me sad to see the game go that way :/ Sorry for the poor choice of words.

It's funny, the announcer today compared our looper to a lounge chair during one of the games (and called the wrong team name for our number but its stressful so I'll give him some slack. It's Prometheus. LOL) and after looking at our video this evening I thought it does look like a lounge chair when in looper mode. It gives me ideas for off season fund raisers. :-) Anyway, we got to deploy the looper another couple of times today and its been real fun. Curie is shaping up to be an exciting division. Now that the exclaiming of our team's elation and fun is over I will return to your regularly scheduled match 100 commentary and state that I pretty well walked out of match 100 as soon as I saw what 1114 was doing. I was looking forward to that match all day to see how the different bots played when against each other, and was disappointed to see teams playing the stupid coopertition aspect versus playing hard that match. I can't blame 1114 because its obvious they are going for that 1st seed hard, but I do blame the GDC for coming up with a qualification system that rewards lawyering and shenanigans versus rewarding fun, competitive game play. It turned what should have been a super exciting match into a joke, and if nothing I hope this will be the last year of coopertition. You should qualify the same way you eliminate if you ask me. Good luck to all in Curie. Last edited by sircedric4 : 16-04-2010 at 22:01. |

Re: Curie 2010!
I watched the match with the lawnchair (webcast, of course), and have been wanting to ask you guys since then:
How was the beer? |

I wish we would have thought of using a lawnchair, it would have made the construction a lot easier. |

Re: Curie 2010!
Just an ignorant Mom here, but could someone explain to me about match 110? Why did 1511 not get the 2 bonus points for a successful hang? At least from the web cast it looked high enough and in plenty of time. There was plenty of speculation about the red hang, but no discussion about 1511, so we thought it was a given, yet when final score was announced, no bonus for blue. ??

1114 is just playing the game in an intelligent way so you are right not to blame them. These actions are not shenanigans or lawyering, they are just the rules as they were explained to EVERYONE. Characterizing their game play as shenanigans is a shot at them, you know that. If you want to criticize the GDC go ahead, but don't bring 1114 into it. |

Re: Curie 2010!
Well, 1114 and 469 are together. Let's see how these strategies play out.

Re: Curie 2010!
No shock to 1114 and 469. I am a little shocked about 2041. However they seem like a good 3rd partner.
I'm just glad we finnaly know who the 3rd parter is on the Alliance we have been discussing about for so long. I hope everyone down there or back home has a good lunch, and Lets hope for some amazing elimination rounds in Curie. |
