Now that I've actually been able to sleep and think back over the whole weekend...
Northeastern was an incredibly well run event. All of the volunteers did their job perfectly, the refs were great, the judges were outstanding as always, and FTAs kept us from having any major problems all weekend.

To 3467, 125, and 5000- congrats on the win! You guys were an amazing alliance. Hope to see you all on the field with us in a few weeks.

To 126 and 97- I loved every minute of getting to play with you guys. Both of your teams are incredibly professional, and even though we couldn't get the job done I wouldn't have wanted alliance selections to go anyway else.

To Brandon Holley- thank you so much for running this top notch event, I would bet on 1058 coming back next year. You truly deserved the Volunteer of the Year award, because you put in more work than anyone else I know in FIRST.

Time for New England Champs!!!!

What a crazy awesome weekend!

The Northeastern District event was top notch and a huge thank you to all of the volunteers who made this event happen! Not only was the event top tier so was the field crew and referee staff. We never had to wait for a ball or pedestal all weekend and all calls seemed fair and reasonable! Kudos to everyone involved to put on the event including the Volunteer of the Year recipient Brandon Holley!

3467 was extremely happy to be invited by team 125 the Nutrons to join the #1 alliance! It was a nice change up considering we've played on opposite sides of the field a lot in the past few years. You guys have an amazing robot and pit crew working through every little issue that came up over the weekend! It was great to see you guys lit up the high goal in the elimination matches!

Team 5000 you were an amazing robot to round off our alliance with your solid defense but more importantly your inbounding was phenomenal and pivotal to our alliance's success in the finals! You guys were quick, consistent, and always ready to dart back to get the next ball started! It was a pleasure working with you and we hope we can play again with you and the Nutrons in Boston!

A big congratulations to the finalist alliance of 69, 2877, & 3499 for their performance in the elimination matches. Finals match 1 was intense, strategic, and well played! The score kept going back and forth after each triple assist cycle on both sides of the field. Putting up 191 points in the finals match with no penalties is something to be very proud of! You all have three amazing robot that know how to play the game. I hope we get to see more of your robots this season!

To 1058 The PVC Pirates, we are so excited to see you guys take home your second Chairmans award in three years! I've said it before but you have been such a role model for our team since we started and never hesitate to help us out if we were in need! You guys have an amazing team and even more so an amazing robot! So glad you guys have the opportunity to show it off in Boston as you are probably one of the most underrated teams in New England at the moment!

Also thanks to everyone who helped us out this weekend with part requests! We seem to have forgotten who gave us a Banebots RS550 motor yesterday before the alliance selections and we would like to replace it.

Our Youtube Channel now has our match videos uploaded here.

Overall it was a fantastic event and we can't wait to come back next year!

Does anyone know if/when match videos will be on blue alliance for all matches (like they are for UNH)? Thanks!

Re: [NEFIRST] 2014 Northeastern University District
 

I spent my time this weekend doing the Hartford district, not the Northeastern one (and I probably won't have the time this week), but it you PM me, I'll tell you how I got everything set for archiving if you want to do it. It basically consists of running a few scripts I wrote overnight

Re: [NEFIRST] 2014 Northeastern University District
 

Unfortunately I'll have to spend this week getting my grades back to normal. I really appreciate the work you're doing with archiving these videos though! Sorry I can't be of much help!

Re: [NEFIRST] 2014 Northeastern University District
 

I can't say THANK YOU enough to the volunteer staff who helped us out at the 1st ever Northeastern District Event. I had the easiest job at the event because of how awesome all of the volunteers were. Thank you everyone who helped out- the event was a success because of you guys.

Massive congrats and thanks to our alliance partners 3467 and 5000.

We've played against 3467 plenty of times already in their young existence, but it was awesome watching us share the same side of the glass. Your guys bot is so unique and effective, you have a lot to be proud of...not to mention an EI and a Chairmans to go with your 2 event wins.

To team 5000, we couldn't be any prouder to play with you guys. You guys played like wily veterans out on that field. We're very proud to have helped you guys along the way, and winning together on the field was absolutely awesome.


I hope everyone enjoyed the event. Please, if you have any comments/questions/concerns/constructive criticism for potential future events at Northeastern, please PM me, leave them here, or send an email to myself at brandonjholley AT gmail DOT com.
