So as for the Mass Team that ended up on the list, they somehow were on our master registration list handed to us from CAS. Not sure how that happened but needless to say they didn't actually attend :p

Sadly internet in the venue was an issue and we weren't able to live stream for this one. Hopefully we'll have that fixed for next year.

Thank you everyone for such a great event!

These strategic can battles were one of the highlights of my season. When we realized we'd likely be fighting against 195 in the finals, we knew that they'd contest us for cans and win the battle.
So, we devilishly schemed to play some mind games with their alliance.

So we switched from our usual bin-grabbing Automode #7 (Entitled: Two-Can Toucan) to our newly created Automode #11 (Entitled: trolololo) which simply strafes to the other side of the field.

It was literally a last minute effort - as Eric was announcing the teams, I was modifying the new auto to drive backward a bit before strafing to the left (Our auto scripting system allows for last second changes).

I kind of like these can battles - instead of sheer speed, these involved some neat strategical action.

Our alliance partners were fantastic. Even when robots had issues, the alliance managed to put up some great scores. 228 was an excellent first pick. They've made such an improvement since the start of their season, now being able to make up to 2 six stacks. 3146 was an amazing steal of a second pick. While they weren't doing so well in quals, we knew what they were capable of after seeing them on Galileo. And in elims, they did not disappoint.

Overall, it was such a great time. The 2836/195/1071 alliance was a formidable set of opponents, taking the finals to 3 matches, and it was great to have the opportunity to battle them. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event happen.

Big Congratulations to Apple Pi for an overall fantastic season. We wanted to be there; we looked forward to the chance to reprise the all-CT alliance from Galileo! Unfortunately, all of our Mentors had family and/or business that weekend.
Nonetheless, this was a great year for Pi! So glad you got this one.

And as always, well done GUS! We were all rooting for ya!

And GRUNTS! Forever our good buddies for picking us in Springfield!

Looking forward to BattleCry next week. The best weekend in Robotics! See you there!

Does anyone know where I could find videos from Ct Champs at.

Re: 2015 CAS/NE FIRST Connecticut State Championship
 

We're working on getting them archived. Currently, the A/V guys have the entire event on their rig, we're figuring out how to get the video off it and to someone (me) who can split it up and post it.

Re: 2015 CAS/NE FIRST Connecticut State Championship
 

Okay thank you how long do you think it will be before the videos are up, also where will they be

Re: 2015 CAS/NE FIRST Connecticut State Championship
 

I have no idea on the timeframe, but the videos will be posted to YouTube and added on TBA. I'll update this thread whenever that happens.

Hey was just checking in to see how the videos from Ct Champs are going.

Re: 2015 CAS/NE FIRST Connecticut State Championship
 

I lied - the drive wasn't in the mail at the time of my last post. I'll follow up with NEFIRST this weekend and check the status. Sorry for the wait
