I'm in FTC, and was doing research for this upcoming season. I thought this may have been an april fools joke but I then checked the date and nearly had a heart attack. It was only then that I realized it was FRC not FTC.

Well... The water game evades us yet again... Regardless, this game looks amazing and very challenging. Best of luck to all the teams!

WRONG. Just went today and the rope was easy for the Pumatrons. (team #5918)

I was in first 2 years ago when they did "Recycle Rush". My parents and grandparents were excited to come to my matches but they had no idea what was going on. I feel like other parents and relatives will have the same level of enthusiasm and confusion my folks did during this game

This game is definitely better than that one though. Also, it's pretty simple: get as many balls and gears in place as possible, then climb the rope at the end.

When Team 4508 went to its first FRC competition we, too, had no idea what too expect. I watched my son's team online. The following year I was able to attend the event in person. It was beyond my wildest dreams. Viewing online was nice, but it was nothing compared to being there in person. So much energy! Now I'm hooked to go to every tournament!

If it makes you feel any better, Andrew Tickel, My daughter had her first comp today (Oct 21st, 2017). I work in IT and have a general understanding about robots. But I was still a bit confused. Sigh.

I went back and watched the older game animations and it just makes me appreciate this one even more. Steamworks may have been a rough year for my team but at least the theme was dope.

This is so much better than last years

Man the animation is getting really good

this is my first year in a FIRST directed robotics team, and I'm super amped! this is something I love doing and I love the math and thought that goes into everything we have to do. personally I'm a programmer but I don't have a problem doing design/engineering. Best of luck to everyone else competing this year, especially noobs like me and rookie teams!!

This year's competition is gonna be sick. Let's go team 614!

Gotta Iove Disney making fun games like this. This game and Stronghold were made with their help, that's why there was a big quality boost from Recycle Rush to Stronghold.

Top hats, goggles,gears and robots! Oh my!

Collecting buttons and putting them on your pant leg is a blast! You sound like a cyberman when you walk. I took a photo and my leg looked like it was made of pins.

love those yellow steampunk gears.

This looks like so much fun! Good luck everyone!

Good luck to all the teams. And see u guys in 6 weeks @ FIRST Steamworks!!

Just went for my sister today in KC, (GO PUMATRONS!!!!) And, yes, sometimes climbing the ladder was hard for them, some yellow cards were pulled for 5918, but they'll do better tomorrow. And the robots STAY ON THE ROPE, unless it's not built properly.

Huh. This a far cry from the FRC what I remember, which boiled down to "Kick the ball" or "Pick up the Ball. /Then/ kick the ball."

Nice

last year's game was way better... however, this is WAY better than Recycle Rush lol

RIP Ultimate Ascent, but if anything- look at that game for endgame mechanics.

"Oh dear..."

doods I am a first year novice. this looks scary, confusing, difficult and awesome all at the same time. please tell me this is not a stupid "Rookie" thing... cause if so then I should probably stop with all the "good design ideas" I have as well right? (btw team 447 FTW)

They focus so much on scoring fuel points in this animation, but it hardly impacts the score in-game. At my team's first competition, literally no team focused on scoring fuel.

@elainezheng3119

7 жыл бұрын

Zach M. there were a couple 1 point victories and even more 2-10 point victories at the Glacier Peak PNW event... Because all other scoring methods have maximum caps, once teams start hitting that cap, the fuel starts deciding matches.

@cazzhmir

7 жыл бұрын

Yeah, at the competition (MAR Springside) afted I made that comment, I noticed the same thing. Scoring can get pretty predictable, and there were even some ties. Having the one or two point advantage from the fuel boiler can win it.

My team lost so bad. Our robot's wifi router died on the first match and we just sat there the entire time because we couldn't do shit.

i was wondering if it was professor elemental, glad to know i was right lol
