Best Autonomous

[E. Wood]

Team 1629 (Gaco), score on the other side of the rack in auto-mode today at Parc, an off season event. Video should be posted after we get it ready.

YAY FINALLY!!!
Our entire alliance was excited when this happened!

I think that out of the ones that I saw in person the best were 375, 1038, and 341.

1730 had a great auto mode; I didn't get to watch them at the Championships, but I know it was doing well at Boilermaker.

I would have to say that 910's autonomous was accurate and consistent. During practice they scored at least twice and during matches at least four times, if not, more. I loved watching theirs though, because their arm was made to flip over the robot, and that's how they scored in autonomous. It was amazing to watch.

1114 also had a very nice autonomous mode. It was realiable and scored at least five times during matches. (It might have been more, since I was in the pits during the rest of the elimination, quarter, and semi finals matches.)

Other notables from Curie are: 1510, 365, 2046, and 716.

1001 also scored a couple times in auto.

2054 and 558 scored once or twice during practice as well, but I don't believe they scored in autonomous during qualifying.

1114 and 1902's worked almost all the time. Watch the 1114+67 combo at GLR, it was cool.

2056 had a nice one that went across the field to score, but it never actually scored, so---

I dont know. There were alot of consistent autonomous scorers.

I say 39,correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe they used the camera so they scored almost every time

One thing I noticed this year was that there wasn't a lot of autonomous, but once a team got it working they tended to keep it working for the rest of the season. Most of the teams I saw score in autonomous were pretty consistent, atleast from what I saw. I have to agree with the comments on 1114. They had a nice bot and autonomous was no exception.

I also liked 48's defense autonomous, along with a few other teams that had effective defensive autonomous modes. I'm surprised more teams didn't do something like them.

Kudos to them and all the other teams that managed to get an autonomous mode working.

Thanks for the comments on our autonomous. Our two coders were almost always working on it, whenever they had a chance. The way they worked you might think they themselves were programmed to simply write code and compile it. Unfortunately during the finals on Einstein, and to a lesser degree on the Curie elimination matches, the camera wasn't fully synced to the field and once it got close to the rack it got confused by the lights above it. Other then that it was a beautiful thing.

Autonomous mode in general is really something to watch, especially when you are on the field and can see for yourself that no one is touching the controls. That feeling is something that would probably be hard for a non-robotics person to understand.

1114. Watching 1114 was like watching magic. It worked every time I saw them.

One of the most consistent robots I saw all year was 1124, who scored almost every time on the close side, and although I don't think they ran it on the field, were able to go accross the field while practicing.

I was also impressed by 195, who developed their auto mode after UTC, and before Nationals, although I don't know how it did.

To answer this, we actually did go across the field to the other side of the rack a few times. We didn't try this until the Championship, though, and we only used it at the beginning, so you might not have seen it.

I am putting together a video of every robot that did an auto mode. Can you send me an url of your favorite one of 1124, must be able to download it, youtube you can't download.

I thought 330 had a wonderful autonomous, but 1730 was great. Both were equal.

[Doug Leppard]

I am putting together a video of all the various bots auto modes. See the thread below:

I already have collected myself 33,39, 79. 116, 340, 341, 386. 424. 1629, 1730, 1902.

Go to the thread and add your URL to your video to be added to the video we are making. Please read the rules.

You really need to get a video of Bomb Squad (team 16), their Ultrasonic Sensors were the most impressive sensor mechanisms for autonomous at the Lone Star Regional.

I would like to include them. Soap is down and I am not sure where to find their videos I can down load. If you can help I would appreciate it.

Team 16 or The Lone Star Regional on The Blue Alliance Match Archive System.

Cheers!
