oh I thought deodorant was made using science but I guess that shows what I know.
Every year in VEX, there are 10,000 teams that lost except for only 2 teams
Not necessarily. Sometimes a regional champion just isnt given a spot at worlds. This happened in starstruck to 8512D iirc.
I think u have the wrong team. That team didnât win any awards in SS and only competed in 2 tournaments
So if we can agree that the âpooperâ area is the butt of the snailbots⌠then what are the intakes?
the antennae are the intakes
Actually, the radioâs more of the antennae, but in a snail-sense, yes. You are correct.
antennae? or eye stalks?
i guess it would be the lower tentacles
dont yall ever leave robotics and do a sport like swim and then solve the robotics problem while swimming?
and then your not able to write down what to do because your wet and have no paper
I mean I do when Iâm out running, but then I am a couple miles away from where I have pen and paper.
Lol, same. Or when youâre in the car and you be like, hey thatâs a good idea, and never think of it again.
Or when you think of it while welding and then mess up your bead.
or when you remember the problem, the position/place you were in when you had the answer, the path you took to get to that answer
but canât possibly remember the answer
and so all you can say is âI had the answer at some pointâ
Is the ârandomâ alliance selection for qualifiers truly random or do event managers run it multiple times to get good outcomes for the home team?
Obligatory
Props for thinking like a seasoned security researcher, but I donât think it is easy to âfindâ a schedule that will be sure to benefit multiple home teams.
Double elimination bracket is still the best way to find the true champions and finalists.
I think 7177X is talking about tournament organizers generating qualification schedules multiple times to benefit teams from their organization. It is most likely uncommon, but there is no way to know if the schedule is truly random with the current system. A solution to this could be RobotEvents giving a hash to official tournaments that always gives a certain output, so generating a schedule multiple times will always give the same random schedule. Then again, this is most likely unnecessary since the amount of tournament organizers that do this is in the minority, but would give peace of mind to the paranoid competitors.
As someone who has had to go against good teams with an alliance robot that did absolutley nothing at my local comp, no
At our states tournament we had the tournament schedule done in front of all the coaches due some sketchy stuff that had been happening with the team hosting.
Maybe vex made the v5 ports defective knowing full well how poorly designed they were in order to drive sales forward and make extra cash?
