I found that it skips less if you watch it in low quality. Not sure why it's like this, my guess is a bug in Livestream.

It's the FTA Bear and Rosie the Robot!

Oh ok, thank you! Those pictures are much clearer than the grainy livestream.

They both wanted a birds eye view of the field! But was safely returned to their homes!

If you we'rent picked on the 3rd alliance you would have been on the 4th, you were #2 on our pick list right under 195 who we knew wouldn't be left. you had a really solid robot and a great drive team. i can't complain about 230 though, they as always were great and we loved to play along side them. If you asked our drive team, 230,2168 and 1058 just clicked with our plan and our style:cool:. We had a great time and it was a great experience to finally make it to the finals. battle cry was awesome as always, a big thanks to all the volunteers that made that possible.

Thanks for all of the nice comments about our team! This victory was particularly sweet because not only is this a young team (3rd year,) but our two drive teams in this competition were made up mostly of freshmen on their first tournament outing, coached by our great regular season senior drive team. The alliance with the Aluminum Falcons and the STEM Whalers was as close to perfect as it could be. A great victory for true collaboration.

Thanks again...

I had a great time refereeing this event! It was awesome seeing some familiar teams from the WPI District and meeting some new teams on the field. Battlecry is definitely an event I hope to continue to be at in the future year. And probably the best offseason I've attended in my 5 years involved with FRC.

Battlecry was fantastic once again! Great competition as usual and a very fun environment. Can't wait to come back next year.

Personal story of 1058's Battlecry: on the 5th seeded alliance, we felt pretty good about our chances, and then we picked team 1757 out of the hat in the random round of alliance selections. I was skeptical of our chances due to our previous matches with 1757 this season, but when I went to visit their pit before our first match to talk strategy, my opinion of them changed dramatically. 1757 was a team of 7 students, no mentors, only two functional batteries, limited tools, and no spare parts. Their students were working hard to figure out an electrical issue, and after some help from team 1073 we were able to get them onto the field. Their robot may not have been ideal for the alliance, but they stepped up big to do everything they could to help us win, and were willing to do any strategy to succeed. To see a team of 7 kids help an alliance like that was truly remarkable to see. It's kids like that that really make FIRST special. 1757, I can't wait to see what you guys bring to the table next year and I would love to work with you in the future.

Hey,

Is anyone on the task of putting BattleCry data into the Blue Alliance?

Re: BattleCry@WPI 15 - Reg opening soon!
 

I'm on it. Will be uploaded to the TBA FB group shortly.

Re: BattleCry@WPI 15 - Reg opening soon!
 

And if I get the time this weekend, I can try and parse up the webcast for archival.

I know it's been a while since BC15, but I have all of 1058's match videos if anyone is interested in watching them! http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...bXhmhZ5_AerdeF
