Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

So theoretically how low seeded could you be and still get a wild card?

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

65th. You could be the lowest ranked team, get picked by an alliance because you add something to the alliance that the alliance captain thinks is beneficial, end up as a finalist and have a wildcard fall to you.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Oh I wasnt aware of that.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Disregarding the seeding part, but it could be possible for a team to not even make it to finals and they could still pick up a ticket to worlds.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Yeah thats what i was getting at

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

What were you getting at? Are you asking about how to earn a ticket to championship? The rules for that are here.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Per the rules, Wildcards only go to the Finalist alliance. And they go in order: Captain, 1st pick, 2nd pick, backup (if present).

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Yes. I was saying the finalists could also all be pre qualified. So the wildcards could go unused

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

There will be a lot of wildcards that go unused at this event. There are a lot of good teams that will be there and we could easily see a situation where everyone that is in the finals, regardless of the result, would qualify for champs.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Some additional things:
33 of the 65 teams have been to at least one regional
5 of the teams have been to two regionals
4 teams have OPRs > 40
12 have OPRs > 30
8 are in the 20s
6 are between 15-20

10 teams have have finished in the top 10 at a regional already this year:
118 (2x)
231
233 (2x)
624 (2x)
1421
1477 (2x)
2352
2587
3999
4587

And as Lynca pointed out there are 4 teams that are coming in already having won Chairmans (2) or EI (2).

I know Pearadox has been working hard and we should be much improved from Alamo, but we'll see if it's just enough to stay "in the mix" or if it will be enough to stand out.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

A very good line up for what could be the last Lone Star Regional (or 2nd to last)

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

TBD...

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Hello Lone Star!

The Blarglefish will be much improved and hoping to bring some heat to Lone Star. We have a faster high goal shot, a new low goal shot, and you'll likely see some tower-scaling Blarglefish throughout the weekend. There's a ton of top-notch teams competing in Houston...hopefully we can earn our keep and try to earn one of those Wildcards!

...cant wait to play more Stronghold in Houston!

Good luck to all the teams competing in Week 6!

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Team 5431 were finalist in Dallas with the Klienbots. We are looking forward to breaching, shooting and climbing with you all this weekend.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Though the Robot Competition looks to be fierce. I think the biggest win will be finding a Parking Place within 1/2 mile. With all the construction, show up early and bring your walking shoes.
Next be prepared for Saturday evening when there is a Concert in the Toyota Center. (Not going to advertise who) So knowing the parking lots, most will charge you $10 for the day, but at a set time the price will go UP and they'll probably make you pay for the Evening price also.
Then we're in for the best part, with a major event downtown, the TRAFFIC. :confused: :yikes: :confused: With all the road construction it's going to be a major mess. :ahh:

Good Luck to all the Teams at the Competition, and Good Luck to all the Mentors and parents driving to the event.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Would someone be able to link the YouTube stream that TheBlueAlliance GameDay is using? I can't seem to get to it through mobile.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

4639 has been hitting high goals all day and we are ready for friday!

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Is it just me or is the live feed just showing the practice day for everyone

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Looks like Friday webcast has been moved here...

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

118 and 233 on the same alliance, and they got zero ranking points? What happened?

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

They lost and did not Breach or Capture

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Thanks Captain Obvious

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

118 did everything they could.

233 had comm issues and were dead 90% of the match, and it appears to me the ref's missed a low bar crossing that clearly happened on the video. They wouldn't have won but should have gotten the breach.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Wow what a crazy day

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Congrats to Mason on a well-deserved WFFA!

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Does anybody have footage of qual match 23? The webcasts cut out right before then.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Saturday's webcast should be streamed here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Zq8e...ature=youtu.be

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Did anyone happen to pick up an iPhone 4 Saturday after the awards ceremony? One of our mentors dropped it and she wasn't able to find it.

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Will anyone be splitting the video and posting?!

Re: Lone Star Regional 2016
 

Yes I plan on it, need to get all the stream links to pull down the archives. Should be done in the next few days.

Edit: Saturday is going up now.
