Something happened in LRT VEXIQ Cassini division

VEX IQ Robotics Competition Discussion VIQC Pitching In (2021-2022 Game)
1

I truly believe that VEX Robotics Worlds Championship is a worlds-class robotics competition. Especially, the VEXIQ is working as an alliance with 2 teams. It is more encourage for student to enjoy the match.

However, I never expect that cheating happen in the LRT VEXIQ Cassini Division final match #11 :frowning:. When the time is up, A Team (left) the robot did not hang on the high bar. As the same time, the driver already put down the controller and leave his hand freely. However, in 2:49:53 - 2:50:00, he re-touch the controller and make the robot hanging on the high bar to gain 10 points for it. This is unbelievable happen in world-class competition. Also, The Team won an Excellence Award in LRT VEXIQ too. :thinking:

If the cheating is true, the Team is not deserve to win an Excellence Award and gain a spot for next year worlds championship. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

That is clearly cheating…I completely agree. Try and talk to some tournament refs and/or the RECF. They should have their excellence award disqualified due to this

So, let me clear this up before it goes even more off the rails. Let’s take another look at the state of the field, when the clock hits 0.

For Team 35188A, we have:

  • 18 Balls in the High Goal (108 Points)
  • 3 Balls in the Low Goal (6 Points)
  • 1 Cleared Corral (5 Points)
  • 1 Robot still on the ground (0 Points)

For a total of 119 Points.

For Team 610E, we have:

  • 21 Balls in the High Goal (126 Points)
  • 1 Ball in the Low Goal (2 Points)
  • 1 Cleared Corral (5 Points)
  • 1 High Hanging Robot (10 Points)

For a total of 143 Points

143 Points + 119 Points = 262 Points. A.K.A., your rightful division champions.

We all know tensions at VEX Worlds tend to run high… but let’s not be so quick to start witch hunting, shall we?

(For what it’s worth, I think an apology is also probably in order)

While the driver should not have touched their controller after the buzzer, this situation is covered by rule G12c. Since this motion occurred after the end of the match, any scoring (a high hang) should be ignored. Based on the reported scores and the visible state at the end of the match, this appears to be the case.
