DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD

[Crop-Circles]

I saw one match where the Killer Bees got knocked over and was then pushed in front of one of their corrals.

First 1241 gets capped at GLR, then 33 is used to block a corral. Is it just me, or are people mistaking robots for mobil goals?

ya i believe that was when cheif delphi hit the robot in autonomous mode and tipped the robot and soon as driver took control, he pushed them straight down excellent strategy. someone correct me if it was in autonomous mode when they got knocked over or afterwards?

got video of channel 4, but i dont think it was much :S only once or twice they scanned the 'mock' audience

It was not chief delphi, it was SCREAM. and we were thier aliance (scream's that is) they knocked them over in auton, then continued to bash them into the driving mode, making the judges subtract 50 points from out score, and add 50 to thiers. the call was good, the act was redicouls, and im going to find it hard to forgive them for that one.

To forgive who? Scream? That was an interesting match, first smashing our flipped robot into the ball corall, then "accidental entanglement" on our alliances' hanging string, breaking free, and going back for more. Oh well, we're still in 5th.

Anyways, it should be very hard to flip us in autonomous mode again. Now, after we hit the ball, we drop into low and our front wheels drop down doubling our stance and making the robot lean into anything coming it's way.

I hear people thought we would let the chiefs beat us so that they could seed higher and pick us....I bet we proved them wrong! Our balls dropped too early (halfway between Autonomous mode and when they were supposed to), but the Chiefs' alliance chose not to replay the match...for the third time. That was a great match.

i think you guys are one of the most impressive bots i have seen this season. And yes, i am very upset with team scream. the round before that they were beeting the daylights out of our already pinned robot. I really don't feel like pointing fingers on public forums though, so i'll leave the story at that.

Yeah, if you looked at us after that match, we were NOT happy, but whatever. I was impressed by your robot, too. It gets a good grip on the big ball, which even many veteran teams do not do.

[NoRemorse]

My team was SOO upset on our last match. We went to pick up one of the multiplier balls, and we stalled out our motors. after a few seconds, our robot was doing a wheelie. Arearm was lifing our robot, and NOT THE BALL. at the end of the match, i went to get the ball out myself, the mobile goal lifted off the ground before the ball came out. It was SOO far down in there at the start of the match, and our robot got stuck on the dang thing. it was rediculous. Not much you can do tho, just make sure you look at it before you start i guess.
