Re: 2014 Howell District
 

I've been busy all day and haven't been able to watch the webcast. Who looks like the top robots at the event? I don't like basing it off ranking this year.

Re: 2014 Howell District
 

Off the top of my head I can name, 67, 27, 245, 469, 548, 2612, and 3688. 3688 hasn't missed a single auton ball on their two ball auton the whole day (Atleast when they were Red).

It's interesting to note that every single team has atleast 2 losses. Extremely stacked event if you ask me, I'm pumped for Elims tomorrow.

Would also throw on 4362 (GEM robotics) as another solid contender.

This competition is very exciting. I've been monitoring average Tele-op, Auton, Assist, Truss&Catch scores for all the Michigan District competitions this year, and even with only 75% of matches completed the average assist score is already at 184 (comparatively, the next highest average was Gull Lake where the average was 171 after ALL games were completed). The penalties are also not nearly as frequent as they were in week one which is making the general experience a lot more enjoyable.

That said, the competition really is fierce. Eliminations should be very exciting.

Re: 2014 Howell District
 

Lots of rounds this afternoon had some inspired defense going on. The matches where both teams scored under 100 were my favorites to watch. Check out Q-48 through Q-52 - there was a strange surge of defense all around, and then things got back to normal, more or less.

Thanks guys, I'll be sure to check out these tomorrow when I go. I don't know why but 67, 245, and 548's arms just seem really fun to watch.

Re: 2014 Howell District
 

Congrats to 67, 469 and 3548!

That was an intense final match.

Re: 2014 Howell District
 

How much force does 469 have in that launcher of theirs? Watching those truss shots to 67's human player was amazing.

Re: 2014 Howell District
 

Huge thanks to 27 and 3536. That was an awesome alliance to play with.

Not sure how much force, but it's motor assisted too.

Re: 2014 Howell District
 

You should see what happens when I try to catch their shots through the goal -.-

Great district, everybody! Congrats to the champs and all the award winners!

Re: 2014 Howell District
 

Congrats to all the teams at Howell. It was an exciting day and I'm gonna be stitching my lungs back together for days after all that screaming. I want to specifically call out our alliance partners 2075 and 3668. It was a pleasure to play alongside you all, and sorry that it didn't work out. I also want to give shout-outs to 27, 469, 548, 308, 226, 201, and 4362 for being cool about letting us join in your cheers after our alliance went down. It was really nice to still be able to participate in the competition and you guys were really nice about letting us join in :)

All things considered, it was a great time, and I think I can speak for my team when I say that you guys were all great fun to compete with and against!
