Does somebody have the seeds and alliances?
All I’ve heard was that 1519 was the 1 seed, there were 10 alliances, and that 20/58/1517 won the event.
I didn’t have the pleasure of attending this year, so I’d love to hear exactly what happened.
The alliances were:
- 1519, 348, 1058
- 88, 125, 1073
-
- 190, 811
- 172, 238, 176
- 20, 58, 1517
- 3499, 138, 3585
- 839, 467, 509
- 131, 2648, 166
- 155, 3467, 1289
- 663, 1922, 2876
You can see what’s left of the elimination bracket here but it really only shows where the alliances ended up. Our alliance played 6 matches playing no. 8, no. 1, no. 5, no. 8, no. 2, & no. 5 with our two loses being to the powerful combo of 20, 58, and 1517.
Also- does someone have a picture or video of 1519’s second robot in action?
I’m very curious how that turned out. I heard they had butterfly on their off-season bot?
They did have butterfly but unfortunately that robot had no way of holding the ball. I’ll see if I have a video of it that I can post.
I also didn’t attend RR, but the past couple months we’ve been changing our practice robot to instead use the 2015 beta control system and our first attempt at a butterfly drive.
Unfortunately we had incompletely ported over the arm/claw/launcher code into the Beta control system, so even though we had just gotten the butterfly running, it had no ball possession capabilities. As a result, it only competed in one match (replacing our competition robot, I believe). There’s a video on our facebook group of that one match, but it’s not online in any other form currently.
One of the students that worked on it or I may get a chance to post a ‘design release’ on CD in the upcoming weeks.
