If you read the italicized print from G25 you'd see that it reads: Techincal-Foul, if the act of balancing is interfered with, also a red Card with the bridge will be counted as balanced with the maximum number of robots possible for that match. They interfered with the act of balancing. This defines what happened in that match.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Aah, but the G28 exception from G44 doesn't apply to G25.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Because it doesn't matter. If it happens it gets the penalty called no matter what.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

We are talking about the same rule, right? G25 (the bridge rule) falls under the jurisdiction of G44.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Q. Does rule G25 apply at all times? What happens if a robot is pinned against an opponents bridge (does rule G44 apply)?

A. Yes, Rule [G25] applies throughout the Match. The Referee will determine if Rule [G44] applies given the exact circumstances.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

And what does [G44] say? Generally, a team can't be forced into a penalty. If they were pushed up the bridge, I'd definitely call that forced into a penalty.

Congrats!! It was a surprise to me, I thought you had already won one of those. Well done sir, well done.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Well since no one has said this yet, congratulations to teams 341, 25, and 1640 for winning the first MAR championship. There was only one playoff match where this alliance scored less than 100 points :eek: .

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Congrats to 341, 25, and 1640 for a truly impressive set of elimination matches and for winning the MAR Championship.

All the teams in the elimination rounds really stepped up their games and created some of the most exciting elimination rounds I've seen in person.

Congrats to both 75 and 433 for their well deserved MAR Chairman's Awards.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Congrats to 75 and 433 for winning the chairman's awards. From your videos I can tell that you both have accomplished quite a bit.

341, 25, 1640 was quite an alliance to watch. That triple balance with brakes was weird wild stuff. Your alliance would have the strength to challenge any alliance that will be on Einstein that's how deep MAR was.

Congrats to 1676 and 2016 for making it to championship. I actually watched the award ceremonies in the webcast to find out if these two teams would make it, because championship wouldn't be right without your two awesome robots, I will see you guys in St. Louis.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Heard an interesting discussion come up down by the field during the finals. MAR champs vs. FiM champs at IRI. 341, 25, and 1640 vs 67, 469, 830. Don't know if it could happen but it would be quite a match.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

I'd give it to the 341, 25, 1640 alliance. They made quite the team and a congratulations is very due. 341 is arguably the best robot in FRC right now. Multiball auton? Check. 90+ accuracy in teleop? Check. Triple balance? Check. I could easily see this robot leading an alliance onto Einstein.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Congratulations to Teams 341, 25 and 1640 for taking the MAR Championship. Special thanks to our alliance partners 365 and 222 for taking a chance on us. It was a pleasure being a "Moe"bot during our run to the semis. Your teams exhibited only grace and professionalism under pressure and in defeat. Your programs set a shining example that we hope our program can strive to emulate and develop into in the future.

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

Did they calculate the 5 teams by points correctly? Some kind soul updated my spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...1YVpMQURnY 0E, which seems correct at first glance.

The 5 teams by points should be:

1218 (then skip 365 and 222)
1676
2180
2016 (then skip 2590)
486

I may be forgetting the order, but I thought they announced: 1218, 1676, 486, 357, 2016 - and then 56 & 2180 as 6 and 7.

Are there errors on the sheet or incorrect numbers there?

Re: 2012 Mid-Atlantic Robotics FRC Region Championship
 

No, they skipped 357 because they had already qualifyied by winning DC.
