Galileo Division 2013

[DCA Fan]

Galileo! What a great division! Rubber matches in nearly every level of eliminations, then taking it to Einstein for rubber matches at both Semi's and Finals. Great job to all the teams!

Galileo 2013: We don't stop playing until we get a rubber match.

UNLESS... you could make the argument, somehow, that the transitory property ascribed to the Pinning rule (that is, if there's an object between pinner and pinnee, it's still a pin) also applies to contact with a robot attempting to climb its tower. That would be the only way to even have a chance at calling it, unless someone can dig up a Q&A that says otherwise.

Now, that doesn't seem quite right--after all, they're still interfering with a climb--but that's the way it works.

I guess you could say the transitive property applies here. Though I wouldn't term it like that. While red1 is pushing blue1, blue1's movements are a direct response to red1's actions. When blue1 bumped blue2 during their climb, causing them to fall, it was a result of red1 actions. Red1 should be held responsible. It's a gray area in the rules, but it seems to me a judgement call should have been made to penalize red1's actions.

The point is more or less moot, as I don't believe a 30pt climb + tech foul would have changed the outcome of the match; still, I think it should have been made clear that it was not an okay move.

I videoed SF Match 3, the final match for Simbotics. I wonder how things would have turned out if they had beaten the world champions with that 30 point climb.

Penalty? Refs said no. I feel like it should be a 30pt climb+tfoul.

I thought it should be a penalty when I saw it, but the situation doesn't seem to be accounted for in the rulebook. It definitely looked like a penalty, but in FRC if it looks like a penalty and smells like a penalty, well, unfortunately it might not be.

We also thought it should have been a penalty because we thought redbot1 pushing bluebot1 into the pyramid would have been a penalty for contacting a robot that was contacting its pyramid, but I was told by some teammates who rewatched the video that bluebot1 never actually hit the pyramid, so there wouldn't have been a penalty for that.... Seems to me like it was a great defensive play....

FWIW, the eventual 2013 World Champion alliance (Galileo #5) played the most matches possible in order to win. 610, 1241, and 1477 played their 8 Qualification matches, and then played 15 Elimination matches (9 on Galileo, 6 on Einstein), going to 3 in each set.

They actually only played 14 elimination matches, the Finals of Galileo didn't go to a rubber match. I thought the same thing as you though because the automatic scoring in the second match of finals showed them losing by a significant margin, but they ended up winning regardless. My mind just assumed that it went to a third match or something.

They also beat us in only two matches in the finals on Galileo, making that only 13 total.

Edit: Nevermind, I should actually read before posting...

All this and a practice match on Einstein=a whole lotta batteries.

Congrats to our Minnesota brothers and sisters King TeC 2169 and Fighting Calculators 2175, along with Laser Robotics 3284 out of Camdenton, Missouri for making it to the finals in Galileo.

Additionally, King TeC, thanks for picking up our flag . We'll see you and Fighting Calculators at State.

Thank you, and no problem.

There were some intense matches in the elimination rounds. Does anybody have full court videos showing all the action at once they could post?

[billylo]

You can find elimination games that alliance #5 - 1241/1477/610 were involved in on Team 610's youtube channel - 2013 champs playlist.

[thanks, Adrian Chan]
