That was hilarious, what were 1241 thinking? I'm impressed that they held that triple co-op balance for even a few seconds, shame it didn't last the whole way.

Interested to hear what was going on in the driver's stations during that match.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Without the insight of being behind the glass it almost looked like 610 died in the way of the bridge and they figured try to triple to get the co-op points. Then 610 came back to life and upset the balance.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Does anyone have any video of that? I'm curious about this :D

Re: Newton 2012!
 

488 looks like a major casualty to the ranking system, sitting at less than half the matches with CP. If they had co-op'd every match (instead of 3/8), they'd be 2nd seed. Even 6/8 would land them 10th seed. They're at 40th right now.

MOE hasn't had fabulous luck in that regards either.

Despite that, seems like Newton's doing pretty good with getting co-ops, and the elims will be really exciting.

New guesses for first round picks:
1717 118
68 469
365 1023
2122 1519
79 111
548 488
1640 330
1662 1983

Winner of GTR West with 2056 and 4001.

• Six 8" pneumatic wheels
• Wide orientation robot
• Triple balance: Easily, seven times.
• Dual speed gearbox: Approximately 4ft/sec and 12ft/
• Flexible, tested autonomous - feed balls, knock down bridge in less than two seconds
• Barrier crossing
• Defensive

Re: Newton 2012!
 

So apparently 118 got red carded in their last match for contacting the opponent's bridge while they were balancing.. but I don't think they did. I was watching, and They only hit the coop bridge once on accident. I hope they dispute that. Did anyone see 118 hit the opponent's bridge?

Re: Newton 2012!
 

They touched the co-op bridge as far as I remember.

118 accepting 548 makes their route to Einstein harder [because it allows 1717 and 469 to team up], but probably gets them the best alliance they could make. Big gamble, it could be a huge finals match [if they both get there].

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Well, it wasn't like 118 could have declined from the 12th seed. These elimination matches will be very, very interesting, to say the least.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Wait, did they actually get a red? They hadn't updated the table for me... well then fair enough.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

118 has the dubious distinction of being the only team in Newton with a DQ showing on their rankings. Refresh the page if you need to.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Oh wow, then everything makes sense. That's quite a tragedy.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

wows nice random field assignments.

6 pnw team in newton finals.
2 pnw team in all other finals :/

Re: Newton 2012!
 

whats happening to 1717!?

Re: Newton 2012!
 

330 and 1717 both had trouble--looked like comm problems.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

What's with the communication issues? So far 1717, 330, and 610 have lost their connections to the field. The indicator light above the alliance station goes from disabled to enabled and then the robot sometimes comes back. Last match 1717 died and came back along with 330. Really disappointed that this has to happen.
