Re: OFFICIAL THREAD - Duel on the Delaware 2014
 

Team 384 SPARKY would like to thank the Duel on the Delaware staff for putting on a great event, we will be back. A special thanks to John Larock for putting up with all the blocked and bounced email due to the our school filters.

Thanks to all the teams that helped us out we could not travel with our usual team and equipment.

SPARKY was truly appreciative of our fellow 2014 Va. Regional partner 2607 Fighting Robo-Vikings for picking us again for another great run at the eliminations, maybe next year we can return the favor. We would also like to thank 369 High Voltage for joining the alliance.

Congratulations to 316 Lunatecs, 1640 Sabotage and 1089 Team Mercury for winning the Duel on the Delaware 2014 it was some of the best Final matches with have ever been in. We hope that SPARKY can get the opportunity to play with you guys at sometime instead of against.

Thanks to all ounce again, we enjoyed making new friends and reuniting with old. Good luck in the coming season - see you guys in St. Louis 2015.

Connor.

No worries about the e-mail bounce-backs! We are simply glad that you guys could join us for your VERY FIRST DUEL! We expect to see you back next October!

All the best this coming season.

Re: OFFICIAL THREAD - Duel on the Delaware 2014
 

Right back at ya 384. Getting another chance to see you guys, let alone play in the eliminations, was a blast. Hopefully the waitlist will let us back into Virginia for the coming season so we can meet up again. I wish I personally had been able to coach at the competiton, but unfortunately I had another commitment for band. :(

And of course, thank you to MOE for holding this event. The team had a great time, and the addition of a webcast (with great support too) was absolutely wonderful for those who couldn't attend in person. We will too be back again next year.

Thanks for putting on a great event. I had a great time. Go Moe!

Team 341, Miss Daisy, had a great day at Duel on the Delaware! As always, it was a great opportunity to try out new drivers, indoctrinate our newest members to Daisy spirit, and overall just have our student members try new things.

Thank you to MOE and Lunatecs for putting on a consistently great event. Everything ran smoothly and it was a lot of fun!

Thank you to 4954 4-H Palindrome Robotics and 226 TechFire Beta for forming such an awesome alliance. It was great fun strategizing with you both to get as far as we did in elims!

Re: OFFICIAL THREAD - Duel on the Delaware 2014
 

Thank you guys for coming out! I'm glad you had fun and brought the spirit with your dancing.
Just to clarify, 226 was a pre-rookie team, Velocity, based out of Cumberland, NJ. TechFire generously lent them their practice bot.

Awesome event, as always. What else would you expect from 316 and 365? :)

I had the amazing opportunity to GoPro-up FRC Team 4954, Palindrome, during their whirlwind elimination run. I was able to attach one GoPro onboard their robot, another recording their drive team, and I also operated a handheld camcorder from the side of the field focused on their robot. There were a few small camera issues here and there, but for the most part I was able to overlay all three feeds into a single compilation video for each of their elimination matches. You can watch the videos for yourself here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...2OO07V4VAMd3qp.

Thanks again to the members of Team 4954, you were all extremely welcoming and patient. Hopefully we get to work together some more in the future!

Best of luck to everyone throughout the upcoming offseasons and in the 2015 season. :D

P.S. I'll also be attending girlPOWER, Ramp Riot, and possibly Brunswick Eruption in the coming weeks, so if any other teams would also like to get GoPro-ed, feel free to let me know!

Did they count that ball as scored, since it was a blue robot scoring a red ball?

Re: OFFICIAL THREAD - Duel on the Delaware 2014
 

Eventually yes.
