Whats the highest robot skills and programming skills scores you've seen so far?

Hey guys! I'm captain of team #2202 from Puerto Rico. I was just wondering if you know whats the highest scores in robot skills and/or programming skills you have seen in vex elevation so far. Our robot can do 58 in robot skills and we are practicing to make it at least couple of points higher.

The highest I've seen is 50 posted by 723 and one of the exothermic teams.

Our bot really is too slow to post much more than 40 consistently.

as for autonomous, highest I've seen is 19 from 880 while practicing at school, 14 in a competition.

Must get 5 more points to beat it

1429 did 58 points at the Dallas regional . Should have been 59 but they dropped one cube at the last second.

now we are at 59 pts ... 2 weeks left, a lot of time to go up to 60 something

How about programming skills? In 20 seconds I think the maximum would be three goals and seven cubes. Anyone done 22 points yet in regular auto? In the 60 second auto challenge, I'm guessing that no one could do more than 35 points (or 45 if you managed to get on the platform will flipping the cube just right). Anyone want to guess what it will take to win in Dallas? I'm guessing 27 points will win it. Anyone seen more than 27 in the 60-second challenge yet?

I was talking to a mentor from team 45 Saturday night in Atlanta, and he said that someone had done 36 points in the 1 minute autonomous challenge, 1 cube in 6 goals.

He also said that last year at the Championships, there were 2 robots on the same field doing the challenge at the same time. If this is the case this year, it will make for an interesting challenge.

Rick, I don't think there is the big cube on the field for the autonomous challenge, just the driver's challenge.

I was trying to think of the logistics of that. It might just be possible with a special-built autonomous 'bot, but that's really, really amazing. Our fastest robot goes from side to side in three or four seconds. Just driving around the perimeter of the field, without taking time to use sensors for scoring, and allowing 2 seconds to turn in each corner, would take 20 seconds. This only leaves 40 seconds to pick up two more cubes and score in six different goals. If someone does that they deserve to win. (Our two most-experienced teams are using line following in the PC. They are targeting five goals, but I still don't know if they can pull that off in one minute.)

This would be a Really, Really Bad Thing. Let's hope this isn't the case.

I just checked the game manual -- the bonus cube is there, but not the cubes on top of it.

This is going to be fun.
