[thehotsauceman]

Team 16, Bomb Squad, is excited for our annual return the Arkansas Rock City Regional. Can't wait to see all the robots! Good luck to all teams that are attending!

We're making our final preparations and getting ready to head north to Little Rock. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

It will be exciting to see you guys. It seems that each year we end up running into each other somewhere. Cannot wait to see the bot this year and all the 3D printed parts and custom acrylic pieces. Be safe and see you guys tomorrow!

Load in tomorrow will begin an hour early due to weather. You will be able to pull your rigs into the venue, but it will take longer. Still 5 people to unload and set up your pit 5-8 PM.

What is it with us and 8" of precipitation? Water game confirmed!

Good way to measure if your bumpers are long enough or not. :rolleyes:

You sure that doesn't have 3937 on the bumpers...lol!

I'd honestly cry if it did. :')

Personally thought you guys knocking the moat out (pins and all) was pretty funny, even from a field reset standpoint! Got necessary changes to how we held in the defenses, so it was pretty helpful too.

Wait.... What?! Y'all do this too? I missed so much. :(

Q62 - they did it twice (I think?) during autonomous. We were on the same alliance, and when the bell to end autonomous finally did ring there was much rejoicing. This was the match we ended up having to replay the next morning due to the scoring issues - when the moat cross worked the first time, thankfully!

P.S. Didn't get a chance to congratulate y'all - had fun playing with you & watching during the finals and will see you again in Rocket City next weekend!

Thanks! It was a really fun weekend.
I was surprised how many teams chose both of the Rock(et) City Regionals this year. See ya there.

Let me know if you have any other questions. We have also posted the lost matches. These are the matches that were taken away from the rankings when every team went down to eight matches after the power outage.

Enjoy!

:( TBA doesn't care about 8 match schedule.

:( TBA doesn't care about 8 match schedule.

I believe our match 9 stayed in the system, they just but each team that already had 8 down as a DQ. If you look at the results here (http://frc-events.firstinspires.org/2016/ARLR/qualifications), you can see the scratch out meaning a DQ. Therefore, blue alliance still has the matches. Blue alliance does not take into account DQs in its compilations of the individual match data. This could get very confusing for anyone who doesn't know the situation. What a crazy Saturday morning!

Just got an email from Frank. All participants at Rock City have been granted four hours of access to their robot between now and your next regional. You can take it in one(1) four hour block or two(2) two hour blocks.
