What was the reason for the DQ in the semi finals?

I have to say, I'm really impressed with 217. Going from being the second pick of the sixteenth seed in MSC to being the seventh seeded alliance captain that bests some of the greatest robots this year is not easy. Congrats to them, and to 3476, 4678, and 188! Well done!

Thank you very much, that means a lot. We had some rough tournaments at the start of the year but things finally came together for us on Newton. We had an absolutely fantastic alliance and finally managed to play near our best. It was a great feeling.

By our list (weighing things like average boulders, max boulders, hang points, and auto points, as well as driving ability/subjectivity) they were easily a top 8 pick at MSC if not higher. I firmly stand by what I've said to a few people in that they were one of the more slept on teams this year.

Watching them and the rest of their alliance play on Einstein and hang right there with an alliance that had as good a shot at a world championship, in my opinion, as anyone was very impressive.

Thanks, that had a wacky title on it, so I missed what it was about.

All of 1676's full-field footage of the 2016 Newton Eliminations has now been posted here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...9R14DZnbqgem-I. Our videos of the Qualification Matches, Alliance Selections, and Awards Ceremony are currently uploading and will also be published in that playlist. Enjoy!

Almost all of 1676's Newton full-field footage is now uploaded and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...9R14DZnbqgem-I. The only videos missing are those of Qualification Matches 8 and 11-24, but I believe most of those were hastily recorded elsewhere while our camera temporarily went berserk. The Newton-Hopper Awards Ceremony and Newton Alliance Selections can also be found in that playlist, and all of our Einstein full-field footage and videos of the Opening Ceremonies and Closing Awards Ceremonies can be found in our Einstein playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...FuMKI-pN-1gaSn. Enjoy!

Being on the winning alliance for Newton was a fabulous experience. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect to be on the winning alliance of such a high-caliber division. Team 4678 is very grateful to teams 217, 3476 and 188 for being our partners in this wonderful experience.

Being the 3rd member of the alliance, we were very curious how well we contributed to the level of scoring our alliance was able to achieve. We know that it's usually the top 2 teams that are responsible for the majority of the points scored in a match. We suspected that might have been a bit different with our alliance and the analysis of the video footage would suggest that is how we managed to succeed on the Newton field.

We may have gotten a few things wrong in our analysis of the video footage but we think we got it pretty close. Have a look at the spreadsheet for the details. It turns out 217, 3476 and 4678 were practically equal. Each team contributed an average of very close to 60 points per game not including the breach and capture points.

Or there will be so much brutal play internally whoever comes out won't have the gas to get through Einstein

5499 played great shut-down D against several of the higher-OPR teams during Newton quals, as did 48. I was not surprised at all to see 5150 pick 48. I was surprised that no one picked 5499.

We want to thank 217 for picking us as the 7th alliance captain!
We also want to thank 4678 and 188 for their continuous push in each and every match.
All of us were great shooters and contributed the same amount practically every match. And hey, we had 2 tall bots on our alliance... so what's that about people thinking tall bots were the wrong move?
Thank you to all the teams in Newton, it was an honor to play against all of you!
