All this post will include are a couple thoughts on Ultimate Ascent through two weeks and some fun facts from the Orlando Regional this past weekend.
Thoughts:
- Field Reset is a pain in the ass!!!! I can only imagine how much worse it would be if human players could throw white Frisbees.
- The game moves relatively fast and a good robot can get 3-4 scoring runs in during teleop and still hang.
- With 45 Frisbees in the drivers stations there is no need to be able to pick up off the ground at this point in the season.
- Most human player throws were towards the main goals and not towards the pyramid goal where the colored Frisbees are actually special.
- 79 became the 9th team to win multiple Florida/Orlando Regionals joining 233, 1251, 86, 179, 180, 1649, 108, and 1592 (If I forgot anyone I am sorry).
- 744 won their first Regional as a team and as a school in 13 years of FRC.
- 1772 was the first out-of-state team to win the Florida Regional since 2007 (Only the 4th such team since 2002) and that team, 1270, went on to qualify for Einstein.
- 79 eliminated 233 at the Orlando Regional for the first time ever. On the other hand 233 has eliminated 79 at least three times (all while I was a student!)
- 4451 was the first rookie to make finals at the Orlando Regional since 1902 in 2006
- 744 made their 3rd finals appearance in 5 years, 79 their 5th in 11 years and 233 their 3rd consecutive and 8th overall since 2002.
- All three members of the winning alliance were ranked lower than 10th.
- 79 and 744 partnered up for the 2nd time since 2009 with 744 being the alliance captain both times.
- 79 qualified for Championship for the 16th year in a row, which should be the longest active non-Hall of Fame streak. Surprisingly the only time Krunch didn't merit qualify was 2008.
