I made a list from the previous thread and made a poll
Here is the Rules
Please look at the videos of teams from www.thebluealliance.com and then vote.
Judging citeria:
1.most accurate
2.Fastest
3.Best programming
4.Coolest
we need at least 100 votes for accurate results so tell every body to vote.
1902 hands down.
other.
It might be biased, but i picked 79. That is one major reason they were at the top of our pick list (That and the fact that they can pick up off the back 9 like a pro).
Tough pick between 1902, 1114, 223, and 79. I voted for 233 in the poll, you just can’t beat a consistent high row auton. 1902 and 1114 are both ridiculously good as well, and 79’s behind the back is not only cool but amazingly accurate as well. All four of them are crazy, picking just one is difficult.
Most accurate autonomous goes to the teams who used the camera. Of the ones I saw in person, I thought 910 and 1730 were money in the bank. We had the privilege of partnering with 1730 at BMR and until their arm ran into some mechanical issues in the elimination rounds, they were a score almost every time. Same went for 910 in the Curie division. Every team I would watch a match, 910 would be in it and they would put that ringer on the middle row.
The coolest looking one would have to be 79 though. I managed to watch one of the elimination round matches in the division they were on and that arm movement was freaking unbelievable. You couldn’t help but cheer after watching them do their autonomous.
Please do not vote unless you have seen every team on the list atleast several times in a match. Otherwise, it won’t be fair.
I personally like 233 the best, but only saw it on eisnstein and twice on archimedes.
79 and 67 were pretty good.
Also, both 330 and 368 deserve an honorable mention.
330 was pretty consistent for not using any sensors at all.
Also, 368 programmed their auton in 1/2 and hour at san diego and it scored 30-50% of the time
Did anyone see team 39s autonomous. the voters seem to be all from other dvisions than newton.
Other.
1038–When their autonomous wasn’t hitting the green light it was SICK. It was crazy to watch that robot dunk keepers on the top row.
I certainly most of the voters in this poll have at least seen video of your autonomous, as it was among the best. Regardless though, it seems like you’ve made this and another thread with the mere desire to confirm your belief that your autonomous was the best in FIRST, and it seems to have backfired, with most of the attention going to 1902 and 1114. And rightfully so, 1902 and 1114 had amazing autonomous, probably the two most consistent. 1902 was probably also the fastest autonomous scoring machine, and capable of scoring on both the bottom and middle in auto.
Thanks for the props!
since the blue alliance site isn’t working for me i voted for the one that stuck out in my mind the most-1902 at the florida regional they rarely missed the spider (I only remember them missing one time) they were quick and extremely efficient
not to brag about my own team or anything but here is a link to a video that may spark some votes out way,

AND ANOTHER VIEW
http://media.putfile.com/Newton-Match-66-340
even with nasty defense from 49 robotic knights (props by the way) we scored…
and we still owe those programmers a coke 
There was a team that I saw on a practice field that actually used a sonar system to gauge where the spider legs were. Anyone have any more info on this? I can’t remember the team number or anything else about it…
Bomb Squad 16 does this (3 sonar sensors). Works well with their swerve drive
We also used a single sonar and IR senor for Spiderlegs “inbetween” lights. We use the camera to get close and the sonar and IR to finish the job. Not as high percentage as on Lighted rows.
I have to say that I was amazingly impressed by all of the teams on this poll. I know at first I found the way 233 let the tube out to be inefficient (every time I saw a tube touching the pvc then getting pulled back off when the gripper released a little piece of me died inside). I was so glad to see them fix that movement by Atlanta to where it smoothly let go of the tube, and it always did a great job. The same goes with how great it was seeing 79 improve as time went on. Finally, of course 1114 just… yea, wow. I was amazingly impressed by their consistency as well. Another great mention is 148, I loved the vex model they used in testing as well (watching the 1902 and 148 vex bots chasing the scale model of the 1902 FRC bot in the pits was absolutely adorable)
In the end, and I spent awhile debating this since I usually find it to be rude to vote for your own team, I did place my vote in for 1902. The primary reason (as I ended up being an onlooker in terms of programming this year with my busy schedule) was probably more of the backend. I was amazingly proud to see the way 1902 created a very methodical vex-based system in which every sensor system was thoroughly tested before ever making a decision. Seeing in the end the programmer’s making a rational choice over a pride based one as they decided to take a chance with EasyC when all of the programmers were well-versed in C was one amazing thing to see (I definitely was one of those that had trouble with that change at first). Seeing the 7 different vex bots that were designed out of parts that students donated from their own kits they had received as christmas/birthday/etc. presents was very very cool. It provided a set of tools that we were able to exchange with other teams that were trying non-camera methods (i.e. IR/Ultrasonic/etc.). So, in the end, seeing both the inside and the outside of 1902s setup this year made me step back and say “The end result is just the showcase of the amazing backend that was used to develop it as well as a plan for future years.” This poll does just ask for the end result, and I feel that the process did in turn make that impression both on and off of the field. I find that as my justification to step out of my comfort bubble and make that vote.
To the teams I didn’t specifically point out in this post though, there isn’t a single post in this thread I don’t agree with so far and all of the people in the poll itself did a great job (I was curious how some teams such as 148 didn’t get into this poll, they had issues in Atlanta because of lighting but their program itself was rock-solid). Great job everybody!
1425, maybe?
I believe they used similar sensors for their autonomous.
ours would have been good if there weren’t major differences between our practice bot and our comp bot… it led to disaster (with the kPID gains). Also, our camera’s smashing in SF1 at newton didnt help much either.
in any case, i found 111’s auto to be very amusing… their method was awesome
I agree 111’s autonomous was great.
when 340 was able to score after it got knocked…that was it.
