You're right, they should seed 2nd (!!!). I missed the fact that they were playing 4 matches today. This will really turn the regional back into anyone's game, they haven't been playing very well (inaccurate shooting) and could be eliminated fairly early even if paired with a team like Pink.

While the regional winners will almost certainly be 254-118, this opens up the finals (and most likely two championship slots).

Re: 2013 SVR
 

Part of our inaccurate shooting is that our driver uses the first shot to line up if we're shooting from the corner, as we have at best a camera to help with lining up; no targeting code. (I'm not actually there, so I can't tell you if there is a camera, I just know it's an option.) The rest is just the kind of error that makes me shrug and go, "I have no clue why that happened."

I agree that we are not quite on the level of many of the really strong teams at SVR this year. I saw the lists of who was coming and thought that we might not even get to elims at all this year, except as maybe 3rd team on an alliance, despite having been finalists the last 4 years. We always play the best we can, and I guess that and a handful of luck paid off (so far. *knocks on wood*)

P.S. We could lose match 91, we're playing 973. However, my match predicting method consists of, "Is this team one I know & was scary last time I saw their bot? Yes: Might lose. No: Could win." and is therefore pretty inaccurate.

Re: 2013 SVR
 

Haha +1. While many people make predictions like this for quals matches, it doesn't work too well at this event because of the depth/strength of the field. The 2nd/3rd tiers of robots behind the superstars will make allllll the difference in elims, as they've already been impacting quals a great deal. Really curious to see how FCS/defense will play out in elims alongside the high-powered bots.

This will be intense, hope everyone's ready for a wild ride!

Almost certainly?

Re: 2013 SVR
 

reverse camera angles in the web feed? yikes.

Re: 2013 SVR
 

Obviously not our scouting for real. :p I'm just making my own predictions from 9 time zones away, so that I can figure out which matches to bite my nails over. (Figuratively.)

Wheeeee! I'm ready for a wild ride!

Re: 2013 SVR
 

You were right about the match, but you will now wear Pink. :)
