Re: Alamo 2016
 

I think that 418 and 3481 definitely belong up in the wild cards section.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

Looking forward to seeing you all. Thanks for moving us up to wild card status. We expect to exceed both expectations.

Mr. Gabe



Also: Connecting this thread if there are any Trumpet players attending Alamo.

wow..no love at all for 3999?

Re: Alamo 2016
 

Andrew,
Thanks for putting the Blarglefish in the wild card group. We hope to earn our keep at Alamo! We have plenty of work to do on our competition robot on Thursday. However, if we can get firing on all cylinders, we'll be Blargling down some defense and tossing some boulders on Saturday afternoon!

....We'll also be bringing some of that good ole Blarglefish Imagery to Alamo once again

Re: Alamo 2016
 

How could I forget? Y'all breezed through the defenses at Anderson. Can't wait to breach with y'all!

Re: Alamo 2016
 

My apologies ! 3999 is definitely going to be a force at the competition !

See you soon.

Alamo webcast will be located on the Stream links page. http://alamo-first.org/2016/03/07/live-stream-links/
Looks like FTC, FLL and FRC will all be happening simultaneously !

Re: Alamo 2016
 

I'll be glued to the webcast whenever I'm not in class! Good luck to all the teams attending!

Re: Alamo 2016
 

Pearadox had a great time at the regional - and many thanks to texplosion and lady cans for being great alliance partners!

Looking forward to getting a couple of low goal issues sorted out for lonestar...it'll be a lot of fun!

Is there any video of this event?

The event was live-streamed on twitch and it still up on the recordings.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

2468 had a great time at Alamo with old friends and many new faces this year. We would like to express our thanks to the Regional Planning Committee and all volunteers who made this a special event. It can't be easy to put on the world's biggest regional along FTC Super Regional, Alamo Regional FLL and Junior FLL tournament all in one building over fours days. The Air Force Fighter Jet in the venue was amazing.

We had a blast hosting the three teams from China who attended: FRC 5445 "Rushing Peacock", FRC 5838 "Mitochondria" and FRC 6018 "Wuhan Rayson School".

We "Appreciate" our elimination partners: FRC Teams 4063 "TriKzR4Kidz", 5572 "ROSBOTS", and our back up 4627 "Manning Robotics". We came so very, very close to an upset.

Congratulations go to the teams advancing to CMP, including: the winning alliance of FRC Teams 148, 231, and 5726, the wildcard recipient 3005, the RAS winners 6025, EI winners 2881, and most of all RCA winners 1477!

Also shout to Mr. Rip for pulling the trailer to Utah for Torque and Appreciate.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

The Blarglefish were honored to win the Alamo Imagery Award. Fun was had by all! We improved our robot all weekend long. Thank you to The AllSparks for picking us (as well as The Grease Monkeys). The Blarglefish were happy to swim with you!

We'll see you all at Lone Star!

Re: Alamo 2016
 

FRC3005, The RoboChargers, are ecstatic that we will finally be able to bring our students to the World Championships, and we are hopeful the event inspires them to continue to push the the team forward. Our message to our students has been that the great teams we admire are not lucky, they are consistent and process driven. This year, our students were able to deliver a simple but effective robot, a practice bot, a lot of driver practice, and enough knowledge to keep it running throughout qualification matches.

We are humbled to have ended up high enough in the rankings to be both considered for picking and able to pick teams we have admired for years. We were thrilled to work with FRC624, CRyptonite, as they dialed in their shooter prior to elims and led us to a 161 point score, as well as 3679, rattlers, whose aggressive defense helped give us an edge in a nail-biting semifinals series.

Congratulations to the winning alliance of 148, 231, and 5726, as well as a host of other friends at the event. We look forward to seeing many of you at Dallas, as well as the Champs in April.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

We were so close in that first match, 4 points away! 4627 had a great time at Alamo, we made tons of great new friends and are more than ready for Western Canada now

Re: Alamo 2016
 

Did anyone cut videos from the twitch stream ?

Alamo has only one video posted on TBA.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

I was trying to actually just pull the twitch feed up for something earlier today and couldn't get it to load in twitch. Were you able to play any of the video recently?

Any tried and true methods of downloading the video from twitch? I'd at least take the time cut some of the videos (at least about 10 qual matches worth...)

Re: Alamo 2016
 

I was able to play the twitch feed.
Manning Robotics cut and uploaded a handful of videos.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

What is the trick to pulling matches off of Twitch? Any suggestions from anyone?

Re: Alamo 2016
 

FRC Video Splitter. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh....php?p=1452930

Re: Alamo 2016
 

That only works if you already have one big video with all the matches, you need to download the posted Twitch video which is not something FRC Video Splitter can do for you. Search google for ways to download from Twitch VOD, there's lots of sites.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

If you have the time stamps for your matches, use https://nightdev.com/twitchdown/ enter the start and stop times and you can download the individual matches.

Alamo appears to be down (twitch) at the current time.

Re: Alamo 2016
 

So what I did to get the videos of our matches was just record my screen while playing the video. Its crude and ineffective, also because of the software I was using I didn't get audio, but it was the best I had
