Task: Analyze our performance at the U League Tournament

Today we had our U League Tournament. Overall, we won the majority of our matches at 4 out of 6, and became an alliance captain during the playoff matches. While we lost both of our playoff matches, we still made it to 8th place. During awards we won Inspire 2, and have qualified for regionals.

Match 1: 83 - 61 Win

During auton we were able to score 1 sample in the high basket, but then got caught and lost balance not scoring the second sample. We did well in teleop, but are in desperate need of driving practice as 4 samples landed outside the field when we tried to place them in the high basket. We were able to place 4 samples in the high basket, and our partner placed 2 specimens on the high rung. During auton, we were unable to touch the lower rung.

Match 2: 90 - 87 Win

During auton, we were able to place both samples in the high basket, but the sampler got stuck on the basket. This cost us a lot of time but we were eventually able to get sampler unstuck. We switched to using speciminer, but the servo went out of limits and stopped working causing us to be unable to grab specimens or samples. Our partner was able to ascend, giving us 15 points. During this game, we received 2 penalties, totaling to 30 points for the opposite team, by touching the opposite alliance bot during their ascension and starting early in teleop.

Match 3: 125 - 70 Win

During auton we were able to place 2 samples in the high basket fixing our issue from the earlier match. A new problem developed as the color sensor did not work properly. This issue caused all samples to be ejected, not allowing us to pick up and deposit any. We effectively became a pushbot and placed 3-4 samples in the basket zone. During endgame, we touched the bar, giving us level 1 ascent.

Match 4: 66 - 149 Loss

We placed one sample in the high basket, but did not intake the second sample due to misalignment during auton. We were able to place 2 samples in the high basket, but missed 5 samples due to lack of driver practice. We reached level 1 ascent via touching the bar during end game.

Match 5: 78 - 27 Win

We placed both samples in the high basket during auton. We placed 4 samples in the high basket shakily.We touched the bar, scoring us a level 1 ascent in the end game.

Match 6: 87 - 187 Loss

We got a 25 point auton,During auton, we placed both samples in the high basket. We used speciminer in this game instead of sampler and scored 3-4 specimens on the high bar. This game showed us that we needed practice in creating specimens and picking them up and placing them. During the end game, we reached level 1 ascent by touching the bar. with the purple pixel barely touching the tape. The robot did the “spin sequence” again, but timed out completely so the yellow pixel wasn’t dropped at all. We also got parking. In Tele-Op, we first scored the yellow pixel we couldn’t score because of the weird auton. One of our alliance partners also knocked one of our pixels off the backdrop. Placing one of the pixels resulted in a ricochet so we couldn’t score a mosaic. We had a total of 6 pixels on the backdrop by the end of teleop. In end game, we couldn't score a drone because the drone launcher wasn’t tensioned. This was the second match where we noticed this issue.

Takeaways

During this tournament we did well in our performance and advanced further. However, there is a lot of progress we have learned from this tournament, and we will work to be better prepared for regionals in 3 weeks. We will prioritize drive practice because it was evident it was a major flaw in our game play, along with advancing our code and fixing arm issues.
