Who's excited to spend Easter weekend at the WEGLR?

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Is anyone from the Toronto area heading down Thursday night and/or heading back Saturday or Sunday that has space for a serial volunteer with no ride?:cool:

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

2959 is excited to go to Canada for the first time. Looks like it will be a great event.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Friendly bumping this post.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Webcast seems to be coming in and out.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

What happened to 1114 in the last match? It looked like they had some communication problems, and when I came back after the match had started, their robot wasn't on the field.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

We where fighting network problems all day yesterday. Everything should be good today.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

I'm watching this on break at work with no sound. Have they explained the delays?

It seems like lots of robots are having problems, but it's really hard to tell from the webcast exactly what's going on.


The Lone Star regional has almost caught up with Great Lakes (in terms of matches played), and Lone Star started an hour after great lakes!

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

They just did their usual amount of six stacks in this match :D

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Am I the only one noticing 2056 seems to be having pretty serious issues in the last couple matches? I'm not sure what to make of it. It looks like they're still moving, kind of, so I'm not sure its a communications issue.

Also: Bravo 1325 so far on giving 1114 and 2056 a strong run for their money.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Also: I just noticed 1114 and 1325's last qual match they are on the same alliance.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Still fairly confident 1114 will seed first still. They have a solid second last match. 2056 won't catch up probably.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

1325 can cause some serious havoc if they manage to stay first seed at the end of quals tomorrow. Should be interesting. :yikes:

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

yeah if 1325 can split up 1114 and 2056 it could end 2056's regional winning spree (they never lost a single regional) and that would make a lot of noise

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Looking like you might be right. I missed 1325s first match this morning, but the field doesn't seem to have posted any of the match results to the web for matches played today, but is updating the rankings. Odd.

#7 alliance 4344 2959 5024 advanced to semis! Go Robotarians!

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Does anyone know what the story is with 4903? They seemed to not even move throughout the eliminations.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Based on previous tournaments, I'm pretty confident that was a strategic decision by the #1 alliance. It enabled them to tether two human loading ramps to 4903.

Worked too, considering they won [Congratulations 1114, 2056 & 4903]. And the streak lives on for another year.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

I was wondering if anyone can direct me towards some footage?

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Any word on why 1114's robot was pulled from Quals 1?

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

From what I read, the simbots (and other teams) were having networking issues during the practice day and that wasn't resolved until after the beginning of quals it seems.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

I was the scorekeeper at this event and I can tell you that we had many issues with field connectivity to begin qualifications. We ended up replaying 5 qualification matches because of those issues and fell behind over an hour on Friday while the FTA's worked with FIRST HQ to resolve the issue. However the match 1114 missed in Qualification 1 was not believed to be caused by the field since no other team was having the same type of issue connecting for that match or later matches until they came out again. The issues we were having were during the match after everyone had connected where many teams on the field lost connection during the course of the match.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Does anyone have video or know of video from the event?

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but here're the two videos I produced for the event:
The Playoffs Hype Video
The Event Wrap Video

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

I think he is looking for match videos esp. elims. I am interested too in watching Windsor videos if they exist.

Re: Windsor Essex Great Lakes Regional
 

This is exactly what I would like. I could've gone but my team was competing that weekend and I'm sad I missed Windsor.

They are not currently up yet but they should be up soon. They are usually up just after a regional but the latest ones are taking a while for some reason. the livestream is still up on the homepage so you may be able to find the full event there.
