2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

MARS is excited to be returning to Pittsburgh after our brief hiatus last year. I can't wait to see the new facility and some familiar faces. It should be a great event!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

I can't wait, I'm glad that Pittsburgh is an early regional this year.

Is everything okay in your build space?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

What does everyone think of the teams attending this year. Teams to look out for?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

2656 is super excited to bring 'Grace' out for our 8th Pittsburgh Regional!

Here's a list of teams attending (as of now) by team number:
48, 117, 128, 144, 156, 291, 306, 337, 379, 451, 772, 888, 1014, 1126, 1507, 1629, 1708, 1743, 1885, 2051, 2252, 2399, 2534, 2544, 2603, 2614, 2641, 2656, 2665, 3015, 3062, 3138, 3260, 3324, 3504, 3511, 3591, 3954, 3955, 3957, 4027, 4031, 4049, 4050, 4150, 4269, 4467, 4484, 4547, 4601, 4615, 4991, 5413, 5740

And now, reading through that, we're also excited to have our number confused with 2665!

It seems like there's almost a dozen more teams than last season at Cal U. MARS and Innovators Robotics will be back this year after not playing PGH last season. Soooooo many strong teams are playing here in March. I can't wait to see what each program has come up with.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Team 1708 is excited as always to come back to the Pittsburgh Regional as well as attending the Buckeye Regional this year! Good luck to all teams attending!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

While I can't officially speak for 1507 anymore, I'm sure they're excited to return to Pitt for the first time since taking home a silver in 2011.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Team 3591 is looking forward to going to Pittsburgh for the first time this year as well as returning to buckeye.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Sounds like it will be a fun one! Any good food places near the venue that you guys have seen?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Let's start an archive of bot reveals and pictures of the attending teams.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

1629 GaCo, is excited about returning to the Pittsburgh Regional. We hear the new venue is superb!!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

There are a few good places to eat and not too expensive. Spuds, Sigz Bistro, High Point, and Campy's to name a few. Glad to see everyone coming!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

I feel bad for the emcee. 2614, 2641, 2656, 2655.


Yeah, it's all just fine, thanks for asking! Didn't actually lose a whole lot of valuables, and with the dehumidifiers running all night afterwards, we were back and running the next day. For those that don't know, we found that there is in fact water on MARS. :yikes:

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

I tried to get 2640 in as well...but it wasn't meant to be. Oh well, we'll have to settle for Myrtle Beach instead of Tropical Western PA!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

1885 is excited for Pittsburgh! Hope you guys are ready for some purple ;)

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

I don't. He needs a good challenge, eh?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Hey everyone! Last year for Newton there was a big spreadsheet that everyone filled out for prescouting about their robots. I was thinking that it would be nice if we could do the same thing, getting a feel for everyone's robot beforehand. There are places for a video or picture of your robot, as well as what all your robot can do on the field. It would be nice if we could get everyone to fill it out, so we can get an idea of all the great robots attending Pittsburgh this year, especially with it being the second week of competition!

Feel free to add any columns of information you think would be helpful!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Yes, 1507 is looking forward to competing in Pittsburgh again after making it to the finals in 2011.

For those who competed in Pittsburgh last year, how does the new venue compare to the old Petersen Events Center?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

First time going to this one, despite having lived here since I left high school. I'll see ya'll on the field as a volunteer!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Team 48 will be handling the Pittsburgh Regional webcast this year.

For now, I know you will be able to access the webcast via http://live.delphielite.com. Direct links are forthcoming.

The plan is to have 2 feeds - a standard production view (via YouTube) and a GoPro full field view (via ustream.tv).

I've been told matches will be recorded.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Thank you Travis for Team 48's ability to stream the Pittsburgh Regional as I have a numerous amount of co-workers willing to watch this year's competition as they were intrigued with what FIRST is and robotics in general.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Will the gopro full field view include the scoring overlay?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Any chance pratice day will be broadcast?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

For anyone who isn't watching the weather, you should be. The forcasted rain could easily get nasty if the temperature profile changes tonight by even a smidge the wrong way. Be safe on the roads tomorrow!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

The roads and sidewalks are already getting pretty bad here in Pittsburgh, I'd expect conditions to be similar in California, PA. x2 to everyone being extremely careful on the way there.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Who's ready for some action!!!!!!!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Will be watching Pittsburgh, good luck to all the teams! Sad I couldn't make it this year...

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Good luck to everyone at the Pittsburgh Regional...Travis...make sure the Canuck does a good job. ;)

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Per www.pittsburghfirst.org the facility will now open to teams at 11am due to weather conditions.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Is the link up on TBA or NASA? Our folks have been looking for the webcast and don't use CD so didn't think to come here.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

I added the above to TBA not updated by them yet

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

The Greater Pittsburgh Regional A/V Crew will only be using one camera during matches, so we will stream that feed and not a GoPro stream.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Can I request that the camera does not pan and is a full field view or is that not possible?

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Looks like someone left the camera on. It says the stream is still live.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

The webcast is on GameDay. http://www.thebluealliance.com/gamed...w_0=2015papi-1

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

Team 1629 GaCo would like to thank our amazing alliance partners, Team 144 R.O.C.K., and Team 337 The Hard Working Hard Hats, for awesome teamwork and great strategy to pull off the underdog upset!!! Each team complimented the others. What a great run. Also, congrats to 2399 for winning the EI, and to 2614 on Chairmans. Great event and a fun time had by all.

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
 

A very sincere congratulations to GaCo 1629, the Hard Working Hard Hats 337, and 144 The R.O.C.K. for their regional win! We are proud to call you our friends!

Re: 2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona
