Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Hey everyone,
Due to the large amount of mobile devices that can go online but not on to webcasts, I figured it would be a good idea to have a thread to discuss all the events of champs as they happen. I also figure that one thread is all we need for discussion about certain team's triumphs, disappointments, and other awesome moments. Thanks and have fun! |
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Awesome idea,especially for all of us stuck at home, in school/work wanting to watch webcasts(but can't)

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Anyone know whether the preliminary quals schedule is going to be changed? Doesn't look like the quals schedules have been uploaded to the division pages just yet, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

I've been keeping up using the FRC Spyder app for iPhone

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
As far as we know in the stands, it is remaining the same for at least Galileo

Seconding the request for video, knowing how their climber works I'm having trouble understanding how it fell from 30

Current high score of 231, courtesy of teams 3824, 1706 and 16 on Curie.

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
2415 put up a beautiful 7 disc auton in match 22 on Archi. Could've broken 200 points with 11 I think if their digital sidecar hadn't come unplugged in the last end of the match. Expect 2415 to be a major force on Archi!

I'm having a hard time reading the name without any spaces, is the end "howling-uni-eagles"? I wonder why they changed it from "Extreme Eagles". |

Does anyone there, reading this thread, know anything about scholarship announcements? Like, do they announce them at each school's specific booths on scholarship row? I'm personally waiting to find out if I got the Northeastern University scholarship...

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Well now time to shed the light. By the way, Tom Nadar did not say the team name of either match (as he was elsewhere), but I do write out the name broken up by words for every game announcer and walk them through how to say it correctly,
So prior to the 2011 season, the team had grown unhappy with the team name and felt a change was in order. The original plan was for some kind of acronym name like HoT or RUSH. So the process began with writing all kinds of words on the white board. When we couldn't decide where to go from there, we said, "let's just use them all and make one long name." I believe it's a total of 77 characters. We did not think FIRST would allow such a long name when we submitted it, but they did and so we kept it. We actually really enjoy the name. We never shy away from the endless askings of how to say it. There have also been no regrets to the change. We do though use the name "Extreme Eagles" when needed. It was actually used during the live MSC boardcast on DPTV. Sometimes it's fun to be different. If there are any more questions about the name or robot, please feel free to PM me. I'll be happy to answer them. |

I think they are counting autonomous points into their 150 and they also could have shot the colored discs which would give them 51 shots

So was this "Make it Loud" Award that was given to Will.I.Am described in any way? I'm interested to see if they're going to make this a thing or if it was a one-time deal.

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Here's my recap after two days of Canadian teams and their achievements.
On Curie, 4814 has gone 7-0 and sitting in third place, a mere 14 AP behind second. 2056 and 1310 are sitting in fourth and fifth, each going 6-1, separated by 4 AP. 3990's close behind going 5-2. Galileo has 1114 seeded second and 610 in fifth, both also going 6-1, separated by 20 AP. 4334 is sitting in 8th, going 6-1 too. 1241 is nipping at their heels in 11th going 5-1-1. Newton didn't see as much Canadian success on the field, with 4476 seeded the highest at 25th, but Kaley Bibic from the Waffles(4476) won Dean's List! Archimedes hasn't been too kind to Canadian teams, with 1334 the highest ranked all the way down at 29th, but with impressive teleop scores who knows where they'll rank. It's no mistake that of the 10 teams listed here, we have 7 regional winners, 2 finalists, and an RAS. This is the best of the best of Canada shining on the world stage. |

Thank you FIRST for creating the MAKE IT LOUD award for will.i.am. He deserved it with creating a $300 camera add on for an iPhone and doing a 5pm special for FIRST years ago. What a guy. Maybe someday he'll invest his own money into sponsoring lots of teams! (Maybe he did already? I don't know.)
Thanks, Someone who got out before it sunk too low. PS: Dean stop asking college kids to contribute in college. Let them grow and come back. |
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Live thought: The declines on Curie a) probably ensured the continuance of the Curie Curse and b) a lot of people's predictions are going to be wrong ^^

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Here's a Canadian review going into the division eliminations.
Archimedes: 1334 was the only Canadian picked, sitting as the first pick from the 8th seed. They have to play the powerhouse alliance of 2415 and 987 first, and are looking to pull an upset. Curie: This division was totally scorched with 4 declines, leaving anyone with the chance at winning. Watch out for 4814 captaining the number three alliance, alongside 3 time world champion full court shooter team 67, and team 1918 with a 5 disk auto and a 30 point climb. They also picked up the highest rookie seed award. 2056 is nipping at their heels, captaining alliance number 4. They picked up team 967 and on the way back up the draft grabbed Quebec team 3990, 2012 world RAS winners. Yet another Canadian is an alliance captain in Curie, with 1310 captaining the number 5 alliance. They selected team 3824 and 1684. Galileo: The number one seed on Galileo is a massive powerhouse, with team 118 selecting teams 1114 and 4039, both Canadians who are good for 5 cycles, with 1114 having a climb on top. They are the heavy favourites for Galileo. 1241 is captaining the number 5 alliance, selecting teams 1477 and 610. 1477 and 610 are both regional winners from the number one captain position, and is probably the biggest threat to the number one alliance. 4334 is right below them on the 6th alliance, alongside their captain 3656 and fellow full court shooter 1806. Newton: This division was not very kind to Canadian teams, but team 4476 managed to pick up the highest rookie seed award. |
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Eliminations are starting in all four divisions.

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
1310 auton shots hit the pyramid bar :eek: but they still won by 2 points!

Here's a pic of 1114's second mishap, I think there piston "locker" is hitting the bar causing them to twist.
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
1114 is having problems that are hitting them at the worst possible time.

What happened to 1114's climber? I missed the match where they didn't climb and they didn't climb in SF 1-1

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
1114 has failed to get to the 3rd level two times in a row now. Looks like that fall actually did some damage
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
It seemed like, either from prior problems or the defense in the match, 1114's arm did not extend enough to reach the 2nd level, so they were stuck at level 1. They were awarded a ton of foul points and a 30 point climb, enough to push them over for a win.
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
So many fouls for interfering with climbs. Decided more than one match, including eliminating the 2056/967/3990 alliance.
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Im going to guess one of there constant force springs is damaged and causing one side not to fully extend. There climber is pretty protected against defence
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Newton F1-1
303-3476-1640 (Blue) 1538-1986-2959 (Red) 247-193 Blue was leading the whole match. |
2056 can't be too happy about those foul points. 967 slammed into 148 as they pulled our their climbing mechanism- giving red a huge 50 bonus. 165-156!
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Red can't let 303 have free reign on that goal.

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
IMO Someone needs to camp out and let 148 shoot full-court before they go hang to maximize their efficiency.
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
1114 has taken them out of the dumping club for sure with a VERY bad twist on their arm.
Seriously, with the arm already in that condition (they called a timeout for crying out loud), already climbing, only to twist it again. It's going to take one hell of a miracle. |

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
3476-1640-303 are Newton champions. Congratulations.
What an upset. Who would've thought? |
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Archimedes
Finals 1 469, 33, 1519 While 1519 shot full field ,and 469 occasionally did, 33 would wait under the goal and pick up frisbees that their alliance partners missed. From there they picked up from the floor and shot straight up into the goal giving them a victory and advantage for the next match. Great finals strategy. |
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Such a horrible way for 1114 and 118 to get knocked out in the semi finals. Also dang at 1986 1538 and 217 being upset in the finals. No one expected that.

Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
the 3476-303-1640 alliance looks to be in the mood to topple giants, they certainly gave 1538-1986-217 a good run for their money. Can't wait to see who else ends up on Einstein
|
1918 took a huge fall from the 3rd level on Curie! Fell on its side/shooter. Hope everything's ok.
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
And so the giants fall.
610-1477-1241 defeats 118-4039-1114 outright. Climbs did not make a difference, since all climbed for 10 and 1114 was not able to reach level 3, so much as to be even able to get off the ground. |
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Wow, 610 alliance and 1114 alliance were separated by 1 disc point and that match was won by foul points.

1678 pulling out that win was totally unexpected. Congrats guys. Did anyone else notice the huge drop in max score in Curie once 2056 was eliminated?
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
610, 1241, and 1477 top 3284, 2169, and 2175. Now that's a great way to beat a full court shooter, just outscore them!
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
Story of Championships has to be 1477. Top tier robot all year, but kept getting eliminated just barely in each regional. After signing up on a Saturday night after their 3rd regional to attend their 4th they win that regional. They then make it to champs and win their division and make it to Einstein!
|
Re: Championships: Live Thoughts and Updates
How in the world did 610's alliance win match 2? They were down about 30 on discs and the teams had similar climb points.
