The "Full Metal Jackets" arrived tonight. We drove through a crazy thunderstorm in central Missouri, hope tomorrow is better. Luckily our robot "Mittens" is sitting in her tiny crate at the dome. If you want scouting data on 1296, check here: http://www.rockwallrobotics.com/robot.html. Mittens has evolved a bit since Palmetto and Dallas.

Team 4276, the Surf City Vikings from Huntington Beach, CA is incredibly excited to be part of the Newton Division this year! Here's to great matches in the days ahead!

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

It looks like the preliminary schedule is now official.

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

Wow this division really is stacked. :ahh: This will be an epic set of matches with so many teams against each other and paired with each other. I really can't wait to see match #111 (no offense Wildstang).....in that match you have 179+254 versus 16+5172. Don't let the high number fool you, team #5172 is the real deal. This won't be an epic high scoring match because I expect to see 229 and 2035 playing a lot of D but it will be a match that decides the top 4 seeds IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if 5172 is ranked 1st coming into this match.

Good luck to all the teams and congratulations on a great season and a terrific game.

@Hallry, will 1676 be posting videos today?

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

That depends, do you want to pay the $14.99/night for me to have wifi at the hotel? Thanks, Marriott. :mad:

But in reality, I am not flying into STL until later tonight. 1676 has been recording full-field footage today (with a few hiccups it sounds like - something about our camera shocking its user?), and once I get in I'll try to work out something to see if today's footage can be uploaded tonight. If not, it'll be up ASAP tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

Our match with 1676 and 217 late this afternoon was above average. 😎

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

I've been telling you about 1676 for a few years now...:D

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

Update: Just checked in to my hotel. Today's footage won't be uploaded tonight unfortunately. However, I believe we got the WiFi issue sorted out, so today's and tomorrow's footage will be uploaded tomorrow night.

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

I have most (missing maybe 10 matches which were recorded on a different SD card) of 1676's full-field footage through lunch today on my computer. If you would like a copy, it's about 50 GB, so bring an appropriate SD card and PM me so we can meet up.

Of course, all of our footage will be uploaded onto our YouTube channel tonight.

(I'll accept shirts as payment... large or XL ;) )

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

Good to know!

When you say "uploaded tonight" I'm guessing it'll be pretty late, to give enough time for all that video to upload?

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

As soon as I get to somewhere with WiFi I will begin uploading all the footage.

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

Wow... Match 100. Poofs move a dead robot onto batter, get the capture and win by 1 pt.

Re: 2016 Newton Subdivision
 

That 1 extra rank point can shoot the Poofs into #1 seed maybe.

It was pretty cool watching that
