Yes, and 179 has an excellent drive train. The FL Regional is so much faster than the UTC. Yet, both are very good, the crowd is very alive. This is fun.

i've just got an image of the teams and the team pool. It hasn't changed in a few minutes . Am i doing something wrong or has it finished already ?

Don't worry it is already done. As long as you hear background sound then you are okay. They just finished up alliance selections and finals should start at like 1-ish. Any predictions as to who is going to win? My prediction is the number 1 alliance.

5.) 1402, 343, 180
OR 1.) 233, 179, 1592

Well look at this you have an extremley fast (and extremley Bright! :D ) stacker who can carry two tetras at a time and stack two goals in less than 10 seconds.

You have a robot who drives at like 18+ Fps
I mean there on the other side of the field capping with 8 seconds left...
They cap to get that extra row... Three seconds left and they gun back to home and some how coast in behind the line and score ten more points!!!

I mean those are some pretty Insane Pairings right there
GOOD LUCK
THINK PINK / CHILDREN OF THE SWAMP!

GREAT JOB BY ALL TEAMS!

[jgannon]

Swamp Thing just called a timeout to work on their drive train... hope they got it fixed. That thing is amazing.

<edit>
Yeah, they did. WOW.

[Alex Cormier]

wow that was one crazy match man 179 can fly around and cap easily!

[Collmandoman]

That's a little premature, methinks. We still haven't seen many of the other powerhouse teams, like 47, 71, and 111, and it's very likely that we may all be surprised by a team we've never heard of.

[thoughtful]

Florida regional is turning out to be very exciting.

The first alliance has swamp and think PINK in there; they are definitely a contender. But something tells me that we going to see a lot of exciting matches before we get a winner here :cool:

[Alex Cormier]

so please correct me if i am wrong. it is illegal to fly across the whole field and hit a robot at full speed?



but it's OK in autonomous?

[jgannon]

It's not really okay in autonomous, and if the refs find it to be offensive, they'll be sure to warn or DQ the offending alliance. It's more likely to be overlooked in autonomous, but if it's a problem, it will be dealt with. If you're referring to 348, I didn't think that they were going all that fast, and I'm sure that red was happy to get the bonus point that they scored.

On an unrelated note, did anyone just see team 386 almost score a vision tetra by pure chance? That was awesome.

i don't really want to redirect this thread but I'll pm you.

that was amazing and so close for the vision tetra!

[jgannon]

Aw... they had another chance at it, too. No trophies or Krispy Kremes yet. :p

[jgannon]

After being to Sacramento, and being on Curie last year, this announcer seems almost lethargic compared to Mark Leon. :rolleyes:

[thoughtful]

Just for the sake of it.

If you were playing against the florida #1 alliance, what wil be your strategy right now. Its hard to win against such a fast capping alliance.

As long as you can overpower them and outrace them you will be able to keep them from scoring. I guarantee you they are no match for the HexaMax R2 (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35266) 2 speed six motor drive.

Only play defense if they come into your zone. Otherwise, just try to keep up with them. It has been shown that you can't really win this game with defense. I would take a shot at 179 or 233 if they came for the blue home zone, but otherwise, I'd keep filling up 1402, and scoring as much as I could.

Also, it might not be a bad idea (strategy-wise, though not necessarily GP-wise) to try to bait the attacking robot (179 or 233) into bumping you in the loading zone.

[Joe Matt]

Congradulations 233, 179, and 1592 for winning Flordia Regional! I'm impressed with all your bots! :D

[bombadier337]

I second that, I only managed to catch the finals but wow 179 is a fast capper.

[Bharat Nain]

Congracts 233 179 & 1592 for taking the FL Regional. Congracts 1251 845 & 1270 for coming in as finalist. Amazing matches

[Joe Matt]

I noticed this yesterday and today, what's with this DJ and Queen? :p

[unapiedra]

Very cool show.
Congratulations to everybody!
