Cowtown Throwdown 2014
Thought I would start the thread for this year's Cowtown Throwdown. As usual it looks like it is going to be a great group of teams. Thanks to Teams 1730 - Team Driven, and 2001 HERMES for putting on the event.
I'm curious as to what FMS we will be using at Cowtown this year. Any chance we might use Cheesy Arena? I've heard so many good things about it. Here is the team list according to the event website: http://cttd-robotics.com/ 44 Teams are signed up. Usually they have a capacity of 48. Team # Team Name - School Name 16 Bomb Squad - Mountain Home High School 938 Team Botman - Central Heights High School 967 Iron Lions - Linn-Mar High School 1094 Channel Cats - River City Robots 1108 Panther Robotics - Paola High School 1444 Lightning Lancers - Engineering and Technology for Lutheran Youth 1619 Up-A-Creek Robotics - Career Development Center 1723 "The FBI" - Independence School District 1730 Team Driven - Lee's Summit High School 1764 Liberty Robotics - Liberty Public Schools 1769 Digital Hawks - J.C.

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
Much more than a local tournament. It looks like we will have teams from Kansas and Missouri (Both sides of the State), plus Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, and Oklahoma.
Edit: Website confirms 48 team capacity Quote:

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
Kind of a bummer that it's on Halloween...

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
It's fallen on Halloween before and it was a blast having everyone dress up in costumes.

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
Last year Cowtown Throwdown was the day after Halloween, which just gave our team (from Colorado) an excuse to eat lots of candy on the car ride over. I think it'd be pretty cool this year if teams brought candy to go trick-or-treating in the pits with while checking out the other robots.

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
4 Arkansas teams! 4 years ago, we didn't even have 4 teams total! Cool to see Championship Rookie All-Star 5006 and pre-rookie "6001" on the list. Rocky Balboabots will have competed 3 times before their first season even begins. They were on the finalist alliance at the Ozark Mountain Brawl and will be at the Gateway Robotics Challenge this coming Saturday.

Shocked that 525 is on the waitlist. They usually don't get to travel out of state for offseason events. Would love to see them come down if they can make it. |

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
We are looking forward to being there and seeing old friends. We received permission and by then we ended up on the wait list. We are feeling fortunate to be able to attend.

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
Is it true that there's not currently a live feed planned for the event? If there isn't, 4329 is willing to provide the equipment and arrangements.

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
The Operation: Code Clash team will be attending Cowtown with team 1619. We would love to have some of the teams participating in the competition (you know who you are) to stop by. For those of you who aren't competing there's more info here.
The competition is going to be great this year. I can't wait! |

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
30 of the 50 teams attending this weekend saw elimination play during the regular season.
15 of the 50 teams attended the world championship, with 6 of those being selected in the elimination draft. Thought it would be interesting to let the draft position from previous events create a pre-ranking list for Cow-Town. Points were accrued as follows. 1. 30 - your average regional draft position. *Undrafted teams were given a draft position of 25. *Pre-rookies were given an average draft position of 30. *Captains were given the same draft positions as their 1st pick. 2. Championship bonus of 10% of 30-draft position. *Teams attending champs, but not selected in the draft were given a 0.5 point boost. (10% of 30-25) *Teams not attending champs were given a 0.0 point boost (10% of 30-30) 3. Ties are listed in order of team number. Code:
Rank Ranking Champs 1 16 31.8 N 2 1986 31.6 N 3 1730 30.2 G 4 1806 28.7 N 6 1108 28.5 G 5 1619 28.5 7 4522 28.2 C 8 1985 28.0 9 3528 28.0 N 10 3284 27.6 N 11 967 27.5 12 1775 27.5 G 13 3928 27.0 N 14 1987 26.5 15 1825 26.0 16 1810 24.5 18 525 24.0 N 17 3612 24.0 19 2410 22.5 20 1802 22.0 21 3792 22.0 22 1939 20.5 A 23 1094 20.0 24 1982 20.0 25 5013 17.5 26 1723 16.0 C 27 2346 15.0 28 3160 14.0 29 4329 14.0 30 4646 11.5 31 1710 5.5 N 32 5006 5.5 A 33 938 5.0 34 1444 5.0 35 1764 5.0 36 1769 5.0 37 1777 5.0 38 1785 5.0 39 1847 5.0 40 1984 5.0 41 1997 5.0 42 2001 5.0 43 2335 5.0 44 2345 5.0 45 2874 5.0 46 3397 5.0 47 3485 5.0 48 3931 5.0 49 4455 5.0 50 5437 0.0 |
