Highest Score 2011

[Jim Zondag]

If you are in a position to get a 158, it means you have 3 Uber tubes on the top row. This makes the top row worth 72, row 2 worth 24, and the bottom row only 12. Because there are still 50 points at risk on the towers, will anyone actually bother with the last 6 tubes on the bottom row? Maybe, but is seems a little unlikely. It would be nice to do for bragging rights, but probably will not be done as part of a required winning strategy in any match. We shall see. It will likely depend how good our human players get.

I suspect the top score we will see will be around 150.... Thats just a lot of tubes to place with 2 minutes and having three good scoring robots... It will be very tough...

Could be possible if human players manage to precisely throw every single one of their tube into their scoring zone giving plenty of time for robots like 1918 with a 4 second or less time on average to floorload and cap.

How often do we think a score of 158 will happen this year? Will it happen before elims at Championship or IRI?

Possibly during quals at MSC. With every team playing at least their 3rd event, MSC has experienced enough drivers to do what needs to be done, and stay out of the way of others. That being said, 12 of those 158 points requires a whole lot of work, and 50 of those points will require split second timing.

In 2007, our drive team could hang 9 tubes in under 2 minutes during practice, but usually hung 6 or fewer during actual matches (defense or preparing ramps). Hanging 18 tubes is possible for 2 good bots to do (with the help of a 3rd), but it will be very difficult. I wouldn't be shocked if no one ever got the 158 during regulation play.

As a reference, the closest to a full rack that has been accomplished so far (as far as I know) is 4 full logos + 2 bottom pieces. 254 + 987 did this at least once at San Diego and I know it had been done at least once before that as well.

If at Champs or MSC, 3 solid scoring robots get together in a quals match I think a perfect 158 may be possible.

In one of our matches at Florida, our drivers were 1 tube short of filling up an entire side of the alliance station by themselves but were cut short by losing comm with about 20-25 seconds left.

Any videos? I would love to see that!

Teams 27, 141, and 2054 just tied the World High Score of 135 at West Michigan. 4 logos, two ubertubes, one bottom logo piece, first two minibots!

3 scoring robots is probably detrimental to a perfect score. It's difficult sometimes for 2 robots to keep out of each others way. It would probably be more efficient for a third bot to be pushing tubes to the other 2.

One thing I did notice at San Diego is the robots that are good at scoring quickly on the top two rows have a lot of trouble scoring on the lowest row.

Maybe one of those rookie teams that can only score on the bottom row might be a good partner to hang logos while the two offensive robots are deploying mini bots

Match 1: 88 - 84
Match 2: 82 - 85
Match 3: 102 - 93

Last one isnt the highest total, but it was up there and these were still a toughhhh set of matches.

Florida high score goes to winners 179-233-108 over our alliance at 112.

This was only with one mini bot =) Smoky mountain regional here we come. In all seriousness you guys where one tough alliance.

At the Bayou Regional the highest scoring game was a 121! Are there any scores out there that beat that?

[xSAWxBLADEx]

135 is the highest (happened in michigan at west michigan and texas at alamo)

We scored 128 today during quarterfinals (one triangle away from topping the record...), and I've heard that an alliance in Michigan reached 135 again.
