QUAL MATCH #80 – DEBRIEF

Blue alliance sadly is beat 421 to 513.

Game play:
Auto was very very very successful taking two big bites of fuel an emptying around 90 into the hub. We had the first shift and managed it well by picking up and scoring in a timely manner. There were some big passers and scorers on the other alliance that pushed us all match… but we stayed with them. In the second scoring period we started slipping was when there was a miscommunication about a pick that was set up in order to get around defense. We barely got any fuel up that cycle and we ended up falling behind.

Other notes:
Everything was looking on track for that match, now it’s just a matter of going back out there and trying again. In quals match #93 we are paired up with 4655 Stateline Robotics and our long lost teammates, 5913 Patiotics!

Wish us luck! :unicorndance1:

Pit update: match 80

We did great this match! The robot preformed very well! but we did have some spontaneous departure of the hopper lid again, the polycarb was driven on but is still just fine for continued use. For a lot of the match, the drivers reported brownouts, this could have been from incorrect battery usage or power drain imbalances mid-match.

The pit is currently working towards a better solution to keep the hopper lid on amidst rough defense and are looking into the brownouts!

QUAL MATCH #67 – DEBRIEF

Blue alliance takes the W 647 to 363. Paired with two teams high up on the leaderboard, the alliance demonstrated exceptional scoring and game play abilities.

Game play:
In auto we had a collision in the neutral zone with an alliance member …. But it was, thankfully, not as much of an issue (for programming) but a miscommunication. Tele-op we demonstrated our best passing all season. Throwing fuel back to our human player station we were able to starve the other alliance and store fuel for endgame. All in all it was a very successful way to start the day.

Other notes:
Today is an important one and the team is determined to perform. Our intake is staying together, our programming is looking strong, and we are all fired up.

Go NoMythic! :unicorn_face:

Match 67!!!

It was a great match! The hopper lid started to come off a bit but recentered itself, there was nothing much to note in the match. Drivetrain slowness is feeling much better!

Pit will do a full check to make sure the robot is fully functional, look for damage, and prepare her for our next match!

Playoffs

We’ve had 3 playoff matches so far.

First one we won and set a Minnesota high score (419)!

The next one was pretty stressful. We had a collision in auto that ended up with us getting a yellow card and being unable to contribute the rest of the match. Luckily, our alliance partner 4174 Mustang was able to win us the match.

In the third match we were against alliance 3, our hardest opponent yet. We modified our auto to protect against what had happened in the match before. We had a successful time scoring despite heavy defense. We ended up winning by a sizable margin and punched our ticket to finals.
