This was an especially gratifying win given the struggles we had with our auto routine ( turns out much of the problem was due to a faulty encoder and also a need to add an 1/8" recess to the end bump of our claw grabbing the first can). Amazing what an 1/8" can mean.

Special thanks to 5012's willingness to add 148's brilliant shower curtain noodle blocker and for their assistance acquiring cans. And of course a shout out to our friends on team 60 ( congrats on the EI) and their partners 3309 and 4322 for their great effort. Kudos to all of the great teams and all of the volunteers that continue to make LVR one of the best events around!

A BIG thank you from Team 60! It was an amazing regional, and it was a lot of fun! We'll see you guys at world's! :D Good luck to the rest of your season!

To echo everything that Ellen said above, huge thanks to our playoffs partners 148 and 987. Words cannot express how grateful we are for the selection. Our students have learned so much from our partnership in playoffs. Thanks a lot and we'll see you all at champs!

Thanks to the Cashman Center for hosting the event. Nice spacious venue, plenty of arena seating, and everything else you could want in a venue.

Thanks to all of the volunteers. Special shout out to the CSAs from Cross The Road Electronics and the FTAs for being so patient with us when we experienced some controls hiccups early on. I've never seen CSAs faster to respond to controls issues than these guys.

Thanks to everyone for making this a memorable regional. Hope to see you at championships!

A few webcast screencaps but they're not great - someone probably has better, waiting for all the DSLR downloads to occur when everyone gets back.

The Las Vegas Regional is one of the best run competitions in FIRST, and I really enjoyed the venue, volunteers, and teams. Next time your team is thinking about going to a travel regional, you should strongly consider Las Vegas.

Thanks to 341 for re-adopting me for the weekend! It was fun to be back.

Thanks to 1251 for picking 341 and having the foresight to choose 4800 as well. This was a pretty cool alliance: Two pure stackers and one pure capper playing the "game" about as collaboratively as possible this year, and they put up some very respectable scores in the process. The autonomous mode was really cool - 4800 uses a very effective fusion of sensors, including a gyro, ultrasonic sensor (for detecting distance off the wall), and encoders to ensure that the robot stays on track in all three degrees of freedom (yaw, lateral, longitudinal). I'm glad 341 was able to assist with getting the cans out of your way, too.

Congrats to 148 and 987 on their dominating win - I'm Looking Forward to seeing how divisions shake out! Congrats to 5012 on their first regional win as well, to 60 and 597 for their awards, and to the entire 60/3309/4322 alliance for punching their much deserved tickets to the Championship.

@ Jared Russell 4800 was my team all regional long, I was just hoping they wouldn't be picked so we could have them as a 3rd robot. Some of the other 1251 mentors and I were wondering if you were around Saturday morning when we were going to pick 341. Knowing that you had been working with 254 lately I wasn't sure, would have been cool to say hello though. I agree divisions are going to be interesting this year.

Joe,

Firstly, thanks so much for sharing. I think a number of us are running out of BB tread :-) A couple questions for you.

#1 Did you guys design your hub with a press fit i.e. stretched the urethane tube around the hub or did you guys make the hub for a "snug fit" and add an adhesive?

#2If you used an adhesive what did you find worked the best?

Kind Regards,

-Josh

It's a stretch fit, with the hub about a half inch oversized then knurled. There is no adhesive used. :)

I'd really like to find a video of Q63 where our human player reportedly shut down Batman and Robin.

Glad you guys had another great experience at LVR! Our planning committee works hard to make the event the best it can be and we hope many more teams take your endorsement to heart, Jared. Lots of room for more than 42 teams for sure:D
