Most Goals Scored in Autonomous?

[David Brinza]

The finals for the Los Angeles Regional pitted the #1 alliance (330, 1717, 1452) against the #3 alliance (294, 968, 980). The first match started with a bang, with 9 balls scored in autonomous! Here's the video of Finals Match #1, courtesy of The Blue Alliance. The match ended in a 12-12 tie.

Were there any higher autonomous scores this year?

In one of our qualification matches in Colorado, our autonomous scored 4/5 balls

Did any alliance ever get 6?

Would have been nice to, uh, you know, see the whole field do autonomous, but that's my pet peeve.

This is a good example to point out that the "official" screen video is a record of what happens on the field, not for artful closeup shots. Here it is, only a few weeks after the fact and we have no idea who or how those nine points were scored. Before I looked at the video, I wondered -- did a single robot kick six balls? Or maybe six robots kick nine? Now I am still wondering. No record to show it.

Sorry for getting on my soapbox, David. It's not your fault. I really would have liked to see how it was done.

To end on a more positive note, to kick a ball was a simple autonomous task, yet did take a lot of work to pull off. The robots that were able to kick three balls in the far zone, jump the bump, and kick two more were great.

i don't think that that is even possible... you can only score 6 without getting a penalty for crossing the mid-line... the only way you could score more than 6 is with a careless shot by the opposing alliance that goes into your side of the field... the only thing is, you need to have some awesome programing

1676, 1986, and 1421 got 5 autonomous balls in the Curie Eliminations. I dont remember which match it was, but I definitely remember it happened. Hehe.

I've seen matches where all 12 balls hit the chains, but I think you'd have to do that 100 times to get one match where all 12 go in.

There are six balls on your side of the white lines, 1 in close zone + 2 in middle zone + 3 in far zone. If all 6 go in in autonomous via many different possible options, then it is possible for an alliance to score 6.

You could calibrate a kicker to aim below the chains... Maybe if 1986 had a 5 auto and any random team had a single low auto, there would be a 6 score.

SemiFinal 2-1 on Curie

1986 hit 3 from the back

1676 hit 1 of 2 from the middle

1421 got the one in front

I think we had a 5-1 lead after auto and held that lead for a 13-9 victory against a very tough alliance (111, 1538, and 2630)

We have the video up on our YouTube channel, but I can't check it from school. We've got YouTube blocked here.

We got 4 once in the eliminations of Palmetto. The neat thing was that the near robot (1398) was running a 10 second delay, so when we missed our shots, but got them in from of the goal, they would run up and push them in.

Our low trajectory was indeed a big part of our frequent success in auto, but left a small margin for error in kicking strength. Unfortunately, our relatively slow bump crossing did not allow time for >3 auto.

Here is the video of that auto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh3vHYiOvoU

1986 and 1676 together were everyone's worst autonomous nightmare.

[1086VEX]

The #1 seed on Galileo hit 5 in auto in our last match i believe...217 hit 3 from the far, 1086 hit 1 from mid, and 2429 hit 1 from the near

T'was a force to be reckoned with, along with 888 and 1421. We could not have done it without you.
