Best Hybrid

So, with hybrid/autonomous being clearly much more important this year than in a long time, what are some of the best modes seen so far? Include video if you've got it!

1024. 'Nuff said.

At BAE it was 1 ball, 3 lines courtesy of Buzz 175. They did this fairly consistently.

Or 1114.

And since both of them are going to attempt to include collision-avoidance anti-blocking techniques, we haven't seen the "best" yet. Nor have we seen about 80% of the robots on the field.

1540 was the class of the field at Oregon, and 488 had another impressive hybrid mode. However, 1114's seemed more impressive than both of those.

right now it seems like laps are the way to get the most points in the 15 sec. but with the emergence of defensive autonomous modes i think that you will see more people going for the ball because a big robot will be parked in the way of your second line. (example semi. 2 at Midwest where 16 shutdown 1024 and 1114 to only 8 points in auton.)

I am curious what the actual scores for these teams were. What were the auto's in the other parts of the country achieving as a "good score"? any 48?

1540 succesfuly knocked off both balls and crossed three lines several times, and almost always got at least the first ball and line. 488 were very succesful with the first line. 1823 here in Oregon got three or four lines fairly often.

How about we blend the two numbers and say 1124 is the best?

If you want a serious answer, though, I was impressed with what I saw from team 25 on the NJ Regional webcast, and what I saw from 1114 on the Midwest Regional webcast. One time 25 hit a wall, backed up, and righted themselves! Our programmer, who was sitting next to me watching, was in awe. (-:

I'm looking forward to see what is in store for the week 2 regionals.

It only inspires me to do better.
our basic motto with collision avoidance is: dont avoid; plow through.
our new automode can consistantly knock off one ball and get a full lap... the second ball is hit-or-miss.

I like your way of thinking!

25 was awesome at Jersey crossing three or four lines and getting a ball . Also 2590 had a pretty killer hybrid mode as well.

[thefro526]

25's hybrid was rather scary, I know once they got it working consistently that it won them matches.

My hope here was to get some useful information on how teams are using the remote, sensors, high scores or at least some video. Just saying that team x has a great auton isn't very informative... please try to backup your opinions !

Being at the New Jersey regional over the weekend, Team 25, RaiderRobotix had one of the best hybrid modes I've seen this season.

In Finals 1-1 they knocked down one ball, ran into another robot and still almost managed to get 4 lines crossed.

In the 100 pt match in NJ, team 25 managed to cross 5 lines and knock down 2 balls for a total of 36 points . (Video hopefully to come soon.)
