So umm funny story. We lost our programmer because our school coach wanted to split our old private team to make it “fair”. If we had a programmer we would be competing in skills, but we stand no change wothout auton
Final tally from Worlds based on top 3 rankings in each category:
Middle School
Skills
1st Place - 4 balls
2nd Place - 6 balls
3rd Place - 6 balls
Teamwork
1st Place - 4 balls + 6 balls
2nd Place - 4 balls + 6 balls
3rd Place - 6 balls + 8 balls
Elementary School
Skills
1st Place - 6 balls
2nd Place - 4 balls
3rd Place - 10 balls
Teamwork
1st Place - 4 balls + 4 balls
2nd Place - 4 balls + 10 balls
3rd Place - 4 balls + 4 balls
LRT Worlds
1st Place - 6 balls + 8 balls
2nd Place - 6 balls + 6 balls
Looks like most of the top performing teams holding strategy was going for 6 or more balls. For skills 6 to 6 plus balls seems to dominate probably because auto likely was more consistent since less lining up for shots. But definitely what seemed to be the most common designs overall at worlds were 4 balls catapults and “Lipperlike” pushers.
Anyway. It was a great season and I look forward to what kids come up with for Slapshot.
Cheers.
It was 6balls+8balls I know one of the team’s very well.
Thanks for the correction. I’ve made the edit to my post. My team I mentor are ES so I don’t follow the MS teams.
Cheers.
