Catalyst 2013 High Scores

[ferrari77]

The Walking tall robot seems to be pretty good
but there is no way a robot like that could be legal, right?
The high goal is around 104 inches high and if your robot is limited to 84 inches you cannot dump frisbees into it like in the simulator?
Am I missing something?

After staying up and playing Catalyst until 2am with just my keyboard on my laptop, I posted a score of 84. However, I've already asked to barrow an Attack 3 joystick for tonight.

Mine with Walking Tall

I can consistently get 141 now, but I don't see me scoring much (any) higher than that.

I think if you didn't find it useful last year then you probably won't find it useful this year.

Our team on the other hand proved through playing Catalyst 2012 that a middle basket scorer could compete with above average top basket scorers, which, as you saw on the field, proved correct.

Having said that, I believe this year's version is less useful, but your mileage may vary.

Someone said the same thing on Diamond Bullet Studios's forums, and they said that it would be fixed in the first update.

The walking tail is amazing i scored 60 in one match

It is lowered on the xbox controller using the right analog stick

In the pause menu you can access the controls

Just got 98 with Walking Tall using my controller.

I haven't been able to get Walking Tall to consistently go in after the update. Any tips?

Instead I've been trying to use the upgraded Cannon hanger design to get up there, and I'm at like the 105 level with that. I bet with enough skill I could do it, the problem is once you run out of field discs there are massive diminishing returns on going to the human player for points and you just can't get above that threshold 2 discs at a time. Walk Tall has the red discs as an option and holds 4 so that's why it can get better scores... Now I just gotta make the new design go in the goal every time.

I'll have time to attack your high score this weekend, robotics is eating all of my time that school didn't already consume.

start at red 2, get the one frisbee from under the tower so you have 4, score turn around get the 2 (6 in auto.) then clear the middle, 4 red, 1 run of 4 white frisbees, and quick score in the last 20 seconds.

(you have to line up perfectly, take your time)

That's the general strategy I'm using, the problem is for some reason when I'm up against the wall about half of my frisbees don't make it into the goal. I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. I'll take video next time I do it.

I usually hold the joystick so I don't move back at all.
