In other words, the 4th ball (if all 3 robots were already in contact with another ball) could be placed without contacting any robot.

This would translate to mean that if an alliance DID have a robot starting in the goalie zone, they could place 2 balls not contacting a robot for the start of auton if they desired.

Hey Mike, you are correct with your Auton ball explanations, thanks ;)

This event keeps getting better. :)

Shocked that 525 is on the waitlist. They usually don't get to travel out of state for offseason events. Would love to see them come down if they can make it.

We are looking forward to being there and seeing old friends. We received permission and by then we ended up on the wait list. We are feeling fortunate to be able to attend.

Can't wait to see you guys again and hear about your latest travels of first around the world to China! I'm coming down to watch with one of my friends from 1987 :)

Is it true that there's not currently a live feed planned for the event? If there isn't, 4329 is willing to provide the equipment and arrangements.

There is a live feed that will go out as well, not sure of the website location just yet. But we will post things once we know for sure. :)

The Operation: Code Clash team will be attending Cowtown with team 1619. We would love to have some of the teams participating in the competition (you know who you are) to stop by. For those of you who aren't competing there's more info here.

The competition is going to be great this year. I can't wait!

30 of the 50 teams attending this weekend saw elimination play during the regular season.

15 of the 50 teams attended the world championship, with 6 of those being selected in the elimination draft.

Thought it would be interesting to let the draft position from previous events create a pre-ranking list for Cow-Town. Points were accrued as follows.

1. 30 - your average regional draft position.
*Undrafted teams were given a draft position of 25.
*Pre-rookies were given an average draft position of 30.
*Captains were given the same draft positions as their 1st pick.

2. Championship bonus of 10% of 30-draft position.
*Teams attending champs, but not selected in the draft were given a 0.5 point boost. (10% of 30-25)
*Teams not attending champs were given a 0.0 point boost (10% of 30-30)

3. Ties are listed in order of team number.

Code:

Rank                Ranking        Champs
1        16        31.8        N

Excited to be headed out in the morning to help represent Arkansas with 4 teams and new members of a couple more along to learn! Next to CMP and IRI, this event looks to be the most competitive of our season.

Team 1108 is excited to be attending and competing with the roboRIO for the entire competition. The first match today will be a roboRIO match. There are 6 2015 Beta test teams competing at the Cowtown Throwdown (16, 525, 1108, 1730, 1764 and 1777). Visit any of the beta teams to see the new control system for 2015 and learn what is new for next year.

Very Cool. I'm excited to see the new control system in battle. See you tonight.


On a different subject, are any teams planning to have match videos uploaded to YouTube or TBA??? Livestreaming is fantastic, but I find myself watching a lot of matches after the fact and it would be cool to have for Cowtown since it is getting to be such a big/competitive event.

What was the order and teams of alliance selections.

Re: Cowtown Throwdown 2014
 
Did the live stream get archived to be able to be watched? It would be nice to show people a few matches. (And learn what happened in some).
