5817 won Rookie All-Star at both the Central Valley Regional and the Orange County Regional this year. Are there any other teams out there that have accomplished this feat in their rookie years?
1885 did in 2006 - once at VCU and once at Palmetto. Got Champs RAS as well.
4451 Palmetto & Orlando RAS in 2014. Won Netwton RAS as well.
We did this in 2010 as well.
Congrats 5817 saw you win it twice in person , now fix that “swerve drive breaking at worst possible time” issue for Worlds
Also congrats to 2485 for winning the Engineering award twice as well.
Good luck to all the great teams from SD,CV and OC going to worlds!
In the IN District, we have 2 rookie teams. Both attended the same 2 events and 6012 won both Rookie AS. So I believe 6012 is the only one eligible team to compete for this award at INDCMPS. So they’ll have 2 district Rookie AS awards and one DCMPS (or Regional) Rookie AS. (Correct me if I’m wrong on the DCMPS part ;))
We recieved the RAS at Colorado and Hub City in 2013.
Thankfully the swerve drive issues were fixed at this event. And I am happy to report we did not have a single swerve module fail on us.
5012 at Inland Empire and Las Vegas 2014.
Congrats to 5817! Can’t wait to see you guys at champs!
You can add Wave Robotics to that list all the way back in 2009!
FRC Team 535 won the Rookie All Star twice in 2000 (Grand Rapids and Midwest)
857 won RAS at Motorola Midwest and Western Michigan in 2002.
4930 did this at Buckeye and Finger Lakes in 2014.
Why is Rookie All-Star different from Chairmans, which can only be won once at a regional level per year? (I’m assuming this is from the old rule that teams could only present for Chairmans at one event?).
We could also add EI to that list as well.
Yeah… now you have main breaker issues. (TWICE??? C’mon, man, you should have replaced it after the first time… :rolleyes:)
It’s hard to fix it because we haven’t been able to recreate it yet.
Main breaker was replaced, seems to be another issue…
We run hard on the practice field for over 5 minutes no problems at all. Going over defenses and running cycles, the motors get hot but the breaker never trips.
The practice bot we run hard in the shop for long durations, and still no breaker issues.
We get to the field and drive for about half the match, and the breaker trips…
Ahhhh :eek:
Don’t know what the current draw is but, our electrical mentor checked and it did not seem that high. He is going to put a scope meter on the practice bot with the kids and try and figure this one out.
I’m going to get the kids working on some potential mechanical solutions for it.
Regardless we are moving the location of the breaker for sure.
Yeah this kind of irks me a bit too… Not to second guess a judges job, but spread the love a bit! Especially for a rookie award…
This is not at all meant to take away from the great job 5817 has done and they deserve to be at champs… but now one less rookie team will be there.
It seems like the wildcard generated from winning RAS twice should go to a rookie, but I don’t know how you would decide which one. It would be easier to just limit it to one win per year, spread the wealth.
