-I did not see that but now I desperately want to!

-That definitely explains a lot. Our robots have never been designed for a lot of pushing power so that's why I was so shocked. Guess we got extremely lucky to catch you guys off guard like that.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

We were joking around about the "point defense system" play after FLR; I was amazed when Adam actually pulled it off!

...it wasn't so much "off guard" as "air still recharging after all the back-and-forth switcheroo on the octocanum". Next year we might go with more air storage just in case.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

I guess "off guard" was the wrong terminology to use. I couldn't really tell what technical minutia was going on up in the nose bleeds.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

Leave it to the guy who went to Wisconsin to know this, but....

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsb...egional/videos

has archived videos from the Buckeye Regional webcast. 291 never created a new site to house Buckeye Regional vids - they used the same channel they used to store the archived Pittsburgh Regional videos.

Enjoy! :cool:

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

That link is for Pittsburgh. :(

Edit: And my mistake, it was 1241's ball we shot out of the air, not 1507's.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

Look at the screenshot of the first vid on that page and tell me again if it's Pittsburgh. I don't think 188 was in Pittsburgh. :D

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

Weird, neither were we...

It's this match: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/21334084

(On that link to Pittsburgh that Travis so graciously provided :p )

About 55 seconds in.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

That is amazing.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

I was standing on the scoring table side of the field at that end when it happened. I didn't see which robots shot, but the sudden change of trajectories was unmistakeable. The guy standing next to me and I just said "Did that really happen?!?"

It was like fireworks in the air overhead!

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

I never noticed... but it makes sense to just reuse the same account.

I really appreciate the work CIA 291 put into providing the video feed. They had several team members working at their video station all weekend when they surely could have been used for something else.

I watch a lot of regionals online and even though I was at Cleveland, it's great having them archived for later viewing.

So a big thanks to CIA and all the other teams that do this (Code Red, etc.) It is appreciated and truly in the spirit of coopertition and Gracious Professionalism to do this!

Also not to be forgotten, sites like theredalliance.com and Madstream.team1323.com that help us find and watch them. Same goes for you - a big thanks.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

On behalf of Team 1629 GaCo, we would like to thank all of the volunteers, teams, and anyone who made this event what it is. I think this is the 4th or 5th year in a row that we have come to Cleveland, and we always have a spectacular time.

1507,340,3015, you all were a truly amazing alliance, well deserverd, congrats on the win!!!

188, 1551,1270, thanks for the hard fought battle in the semis, it was alot of fun, and that is what it is all about!!!

340 congrats on your EI award also, that is awesome!

We hope to get to compete again with you all in St. Louis.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

I'm just happy that alot of these teams that are doing so well are frequent Rah Cha Cha Ruckus supporters. Looks like were in for another great year with another great set of teams (but we could always use more).

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

You guys are the only team that even tried to prevent us from crossing the barrier, and you delayed us a good 30 seconds (while deftly avoiding a transitive bridge-contact technical foul) -- it gave us a great *gasp* moment! While I know that given the opportunity we'd all rather win than lose, I hope you guys had as awesome a time as we did in that well-played, hard-fought tournament.

Re: 2012 Buckeye Regional
 

I am particularly happy that 3015 broke through and got a regional win. They were really downhearted when they had to withdraw from the finals at FLR and eventually they fell to our alliance but I told them that they could take what they had learned at FLR and use that knowledge their advantage to succeed at Buckeye and I'm glad that it all worked out in the end for them.
