It’s officially week 3, which means the Lone Star Central Regional is this week. We’ve got a solid list of teams coming to Houston this week so it should be a lot of fun. I’ve attached a link to a spreadsheet of somebasic pre-scouting information I like to do before each regional.
It is definitely going to be a stellar field of quality teams competing this year. Can’t wait to see how the regional plays out. Looking forward to see everyone there.
This is going to super regional and there is going to major improvements teams are working into the robots… This can dramatically make for some competitive matches!.. Fuel Shooting might be a NEW factor now ! Cant Wait!
They really didn’t have any gears to “make up”. You cannot catch up in a qual match with gears if you score 91pts in balls and also 120pts in gears. You could however, make up those points in climbs. Climbs matter more than gears in this case.
Yeah,
My team was in a match with 118 where they scored almost 100 Kpa.
But their fuel points would not matter as much if the other alliance members just sat there and did nothing.
Realistically the Kpa is used to make up for foul points and maybe a missed climb attempt
Fuel points do matter, mostly. Every point made in any match goes toward the first ranking tiebreaker or “Match Points”. In addition to the 40 kPa adding another RP to their ranking score. The match you are referring to is match 41. They scored 91 kPa in the match, 38 in auto, and 53 in Telop.
I guess I don’t quite understand the point you are trying to make. The kPa they scored didn’t make up for foul points or a missed climb. They would have won that match regardless.
