Re: 2007 best tube scorers

i think that there are two important factors when considering good arm bots. And those are; How quickly can they pick up and score undefended, and how well they pick up and score when they ARE defended.

Considering these two things I'm going to throw in vote for teams 148, 237 (TRIBE), 195 (cyber knights), and 1124 (uberbots). These bots score well while being defended and undefended.

If i was just thinking about robots who do well undefended I would say team 25 is the best i've seen. In the matches in which they were being defended, they only put up 1 or 2 per match.

Good luck for the rest of the season everyone!

Re: 2007 best tube scorers

I wanted to put emphasis on team 302. They were hands down the best scorer at Detroit closely followed by 469. 302 was the only team there that I saw in three different rounds instead making the 8 in a row only do seven and go to the ramp. Those two made an awesome alliance. If only they could have beaten Da' Bears defense....

YAY THAT'S US! I have to agree with the majority in saying that 469 were pretty good. The two of us could have been unstoppable if we might have stayed on the ramps. Anyways, I like 47's arm and speed but they can be blocked in various ways. 33 has an amazing arm but can be slower at some times. I guess really now it comes down to drivers rather than robots.

Re: 2007 best tube scorers

At Arizona, 39 and 1726 were far above any of the other tube scorers at the Regional, each putting up 7 in one of their matches. 39 could consistently score keepers and hung well even under defense. They were #1 seed the whole Regional and winners for a reason.

842 also was a good scorer, putting up 3 to 5 a match even though they were limited to the bottom row. 842 and 1726 both had damage to their manipulators by elimintations though, and didn't fair as well as they could have because of it (yes, they were still Finalists, but I think they could have given 39-60-1013 even tougher matches if their claws had been fully working).

On webcast, 1124 was by and far the best scorer I saw. For them it looked like a robot playing defense simply meant a tube took 1 second longer to score. 111, 40, 190, and 1902 all had good machines as well.

Re: 2007 best tube scorers

At Boilermaker, 45 was awesome. They were fast and accurate.

I also like 573, they were efficient and the only team that I noticed who successfully picked up and scored a deflated ringer.

540 is a very reliable scorer. The omni wheels let them school all the other non-omni wheel robots. There scorer was awesome.

Re: 2007 best tube scorers

Thanks for saying we are a good at placing ringers, it was one our goals, and I think we achieved it. There were other good teams such as 45, 573, 868, and 234. Best of luck to everybody in Nationals. The Boilermaker Regional was very tough, and congrats to everybody who competed.

From Wisconsin and Midwest these teams stick out in my mind: 111 (of couse...), 71, 648, 1736, and 537

Re: 2007 best tube scorers

the three that stood out the most to me in Detroit were 217, 123, and 469. All three were nearly flawless.

Do you realize that were probably gonna be in the same division, how awesome is that! By the way I thought your robot was phenominal and was deffinately one of the best scores, and putting all that aside we have the same shirts! Talk about good taste.

Re: 2007 best tube scorers

Team 56 is THE fastest scorer I've seen this year. I only wish they'd be more productive while being defended, and that they could find it within themselves to climb ramps. I've been wondering why they don't dance circles around the defense with their low, fast, and agile machine.. is the drivetrain sub-par?

Team 1114, after watching the GLR video, is a little bit slower (at putting up the tubes) than 56, but their drivetrain is rock solid, and I look forward to watching them again in Waterloo to see how they handle defense. Their low(er) ground clearance makes it a bit of an issue for them to climb ramps, but if they are smart, they'll learn to pull away and use their own set of amazing ramps to get it done for their alliance.. or send their partners back for 30 points.

Team 148 is also amazing. They are tied right now with 217, in my mind, for coming up with the fastest scoring roller claws. While they do roll the tubes in, they can simply yank the tubes from their grasp and onto the rack using a pneumatic wrist motion (148), or by pushing down on their arm (217). 217 was very smart with their roller claw design, only picking up 50-70% of the tube, making for a quick release. Both robots are adept at climbing ramps. If only 217 responded better while being hounded by defense.

175 is good. They (only) put up 4-5 tubes per match, but their drivers have a lock on this game: they know how to play on the field. This agile machine is much like 56 in speed, and maneuverability, so it takes smarts, rather than muscles to make it around the defense. This isn't a bad thing, because spinning circles, a team can put up 2-3 with defense. Using brute force, maybe a team can get 1 or 2. They have ramp climbing ability, and the drivers haven't been afraid to use it.

67, another team with a roller claw. I watched them in the finals with 1114, and saw a great display of team work during autonomous, and during the match. I watched their qualification rounds, and saw that they are fully aware of what they are doing. Their roller claw is doing a great job for them, but so are their drivers. They are learning how to play the(ir) game. Its only a matter of time. They have a tremendous amount of raw skill, and scoring power. Perhaps they'll have to out run the defense in the future, the drivetrain doesn't seem ready to help them force their way into scoring position.

121 is on deck! They'll be making an appearance tommorow at the Boston regional. Their robot is solid, once again, this year, and they've gone with the roller gripper design, a very promising choice. It looks like their drivetrain is at a medium between pushing ability and speed, so it will be interesting how they perform under the pressures of defense. I saw the American Robot video of their drivers practicing, and it looks like they still have a bit of work to do as far as getting the operation of their robot down to a science. But as soon as the drivers come up to speed, this robot will be worlds ahead of the competition at Boston. We may finally see the 121+173 alliance! Or perhaps it will be 121+69........

100. I haven't seen them in action yet, but I'm curious how well they deliver. I've seen pictures of their roller claw design, and it looked good. I'm sure they are everything they are being made out to be.

a few others I've seen:

45
233
254/968
375
365
469
1124
1369/1902
1730
