That was just my personal notes on the alliance pairings.
Occasionally, I also switched a screen at the scoring table to check that the rankings were getting updated properly and folks would come over and ask to take snapshots of the screen. It was always displayed in the pits for all to see. I just thought the final one would be appreciated if you missed it, until the online system gets updated.

The official records will be posted on the FIRST website as they work back through the weekend's data.

Special thanks to 1572 for loving to block an easy view for me by stacking and capping right by the backstop! :p

And for those wondering, I was reffing. I'm wondering how many CDers I missed recognizing (steelerborn and Boltman, were you on drive teams? If so, I think I can pair a face to a name now).

No not me watched from afar we are in Ventura and SD this year.

Off by one--5136 was there.

I'll see you guys in Ventura--I'll be in stripes.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire

My best moment from IE (besides being picked by 2496/3128) was watching the production team figure out Sunday morning. The crew worked as one brain as they solved the queuing / robot pathway to handle the rain. The challenge was to get carts through single doorways. We had teams volunteer to do traffic control (Code Orange, Robokong, LiveWire, Cyborg Zombies) at the choke points. Teams were very patient as they removed their robots from carts to get through the doors and humans had too wait as the robots went through.

The queuing team and the production staff were the unsung heroes of the event.

Definitely like RMHS and the space for spectators. Still not enough room for a good practice field. Got to get that figured out for next year.

Thanks to all the teams who made this event special and memorable!

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire

Does anyone have any footage of the event that they are planning on releasing?

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire

Inland Empire turned out to be a pretty good regional. My only complaint was that they had technical difficulties in uploading any information to the FIRST website, but they finally got that all up on Thursday I think.
Anyway, a parent took videos of the last 3 final matches. Here they are:

Ah thanks. I was not aware of this issue. I had just assumed it was an internet outage or something.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire

Here is the regional recap that we made for IE. Hope you guys enjoy.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire

I started typing up a post for LA, but it didn't feel right to do that before finishing this. Got really busy/distracted in the time between LA and Inland.

First, I have to say the volunteers at this event were great. I can't put my finger on any one thing, but it was just pleasant overall. From the LRI to the head ref, to queuing to pit admin, etc... everyone was just pleasant. It was much appreciated, and recognized by our team.

I'm very happy for all the teams that qualified. No offense to the others, but especially 3250. They are a team that has been doing quality work for years, and it's nice to see them have a chance at the big show (with Davis in between as more practice). They are a solid can specialists that could really round out an alliance at champs.

All of 973 is very sorry that we were the bottleneck in our elims matches, and cost us a chance at semis (and possibly finals).

Both teams, 2485 and 1836 were awesome to work with. 1836 we've worked with many times, and this time was more pleasant than ever. 2485 we'd never worked with (or competed at the same event before). I'd even heard some rumors that they were a grumpy team. These couldn't be further from the truth, they were hands down one of the most positive and enthusiastic teams we've ever worked with. Everyone was just so nice. It was a bummer to see their robot not at full potential, but the design is right (same 2 carriage design as many teams) and I'm sure they'll get it going for San Diego and put on quite a show. They also have the COOLEST canburglars I had seen at that point, which were also pretty fast.

Thanks once again to the IE planning committee for a very solid event.

Thanks so much for the shout-out! We were thrilled to say the least to work with 973 (as you could probably tell from my not-too-subtle reaction before going up to accept your pick :) ), and would love this to be just the beginning of a longstanding SoCal relationship. Thank you guys so much all the help you gave us at IE!
