All the Debbie downers here seem to be forgetting their worlds qualifications will drop down to the finalists after/if they win a regional.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

I don't think it works that way, I could be wrong though.

I thought only qualifications earned at an event THIS year are passed down.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

That's what I'm talking about. They seem to be talking about all Canadian regionals not just GTR-E. just reminding them that everything changes at their second event.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

1114 and 2056 as well as all the other teams that competed on Einstein last year were guaranteed a spot at Championships because of the interference.
I think that if 1114/2056 wins GTRE their spot would get passed on because of the new "wild card" system.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Does anyone have photos/videos/info about 1114 or 2056's robot? I'm really interested in the strategic decisons that these strategy-centric teams made this year.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Not in this case.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

1114 is in the first match of the day today! Tune in at www.watchfirstnow.com/gtr

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Is 188 not competing? I see them in the list of teams, but they're nowhere in the match schedule.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

188 is no longer a team.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Unfortunately, they were one of the teams that had to drop this year due to the Ontario teacher union labour dispute. Hopefully they will be back next year!

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Oh, that's disappointing. I was hoping to see them compete. :(

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Wow. 133 points by 2056 and alliance. Looks like for a floor-load-only robot, they're really rocking the competition.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Not that I would expect anything less from 2056, but their execution is simply amazing. They've clearly been practicing their butts off with that machine. Watching their last match, it was almost like the robot said this: 'No discs on the floor? Oh look at this convenient pile of discs our HP left for us, brb for more scoring'.

Awesome.

Re: 2013 Greater Toronto East Regional
 

Was watching 1114 and 2056. In 1114's first match, they were at best ~24 seconds between scorings. 2056 was about 22 seconds between unloadings. Seemed to be more defense played on 1114's match though and their loader wasn't perfect, so maybe they can get that down to 20 seconds per 4 discs.

2056 also has an impressive last-second hang.
