Arkansas Rock City Regional BLACKOUT

Well, the power here in Arkansas is out right now, and will continue to be for another hour or two. So as we all sit here with all this free time, I'm wondering what the craziest or most bizarre event has ever happened to you or your team at a FIRST event?

Also, please comment if you are sitting here in the dark with us!

A car crashed into a nearby telephone/power pole and it apparently cut our power, along with a few other nearby places.

In a finals match at the 2015 UNH District, a mouse chewed through a wire shutting off all of the lights in the Whittemore arena. Then in the second match, a drive team button got stuck in a stack, voiding everything above the button.

Any word on the contingency plan for being so far behind schedule?

They cancelled all remaining qualification matches and are going straight to alliance selection. Field has power but the pits don't.

They have decided to only use the rankings from Friday for alliance selection and dove into eliminations

Wow, thats terrifying. Ironic though, since Team 16 Bomb Squad is competing here.
