Re: MTTD 2016 Hosted by 1671
 

While this is a count of unique FRC teams, it's also important to note that we allow teams to bring multiple robots. We currently have 32 robots scheduled to compete at the Madtown Throwdown event this year, and there's more yet to be signed up.

We party hard in Madera - don't miss out on the last chance to play FIRST Stronghold in California, and the last chance to visit Player's BBQ before CVR.

Re: MTTD 2016 Hosted by 1671
 

Oh god, blazebots is actually happening.

Re: MTTD 2016 Hosted by 1671
 

Well, unless the 2017 game is bad. Then it'll just be a replay of Stronghold. (Or another Aerial Assist event!)

Re: Madtown 2016
 

3859 just sent in their request!!

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Will the Chezy Champs rule changes be in effect?

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Pretty much, some modifications. We are sending out schedule, rule changes, food menu (players BBQ preorder! delivered to your pit) and hotel discounts. We are working with hotels to provide a lower than advertised price for all teams. Should have final confirmation this next week.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

971 is super excited to come again this year! MTTD is always a lot of fun. We are bringing 3 robots again.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Same for 1678!

We love MTTD!

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Happy to say that I'm going down to Madtown to FTA! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Side note: If anyone wants to trade shirts, I've still got a lot of 5940 shirts in almost every size. If you want one, shoot me a PM.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Cool! We need to update Cheesy Arena on Thursday. Pat rolled back the commit which broke TBA publishing. Hopefully everything will work well.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Anyone know the final team list?

Re: Madtown 2016
 

And also number of robots each team is bringing?

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Do you know what the numbers for the 2nd/3rd bots will be?

Estimated # of matches per team?

Re: Madtown 2016
 

I believe these will be the numbers, this is the typical format we have for additional robots at MTTD.

Should be about 12 qualification matches per team, +/- one or so. Will be running pretty quick and optimized cycles.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Blazebots dropped? Bummer...

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Slight correction, this is 37 teams.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Apparently I can't count. I guess I'm not that super of a nerd after all :(

Re: Madtown 2016
 

36 Teams, 114 is bringing one robot.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Tune in to the webcast at https://www.twitch.tv/cvrobotics!

Make sure to tune in for the rest of our qualification matches, starting at 8am PST tomorrow!

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Well.. someone's going to have to explain what happened with the scoring on F2 because the stream cut out just as the explanation started and hasn't come back yet.

:eek:

Madtown 2016
 

Sorry about that, we lost venue internet. I'm not sure of the exact details (I was an FTA, not a ref), so I'll see if one of them can comment further. Anyways, 1678 was assessed a red card for tipping 2073 and continuing to push them after they had started to tip. This led to a blue alliance win. We then played a third finals match, which red won (not sure of the exact score). We'll do our best to get the scores added to TBA ASAP.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

The explanation wasn't super clear either. It wasn't a red for staying in the general vicinity, it was a red for following-through with the push after 2073 had already begun to tip.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Yup, and it was the correct call for the situation. I wouldn't have wanted to be a ref having to make that call.

Thanks everyone for another awesome Throwdown. We had a blast, and got to see a bunch of friends from many teams. Thanks 1323 and 1671 for putting on an awesome event. We are looking forwards to next year's Throwdown!

Re: Madtown 2016
 

I have a backup of the DB. Ill get the final matches posted tomorrow morning in to TBA. Thanks to everyone for making this another great and successful event.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Thank you to everyone who came out to Madera to attend this year's Throwdown, and to everyone who showed their support by watching the webcast. We hope you all had an enjoyable experience, and if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let us know how to make our event as great as it could be. See you all next year!

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Sounds like it was a great event. Sorry 696 couldn't make it. Maybe next year.

If anyone talks to RC out side of these forums, please tell him to check his e-mail and get back to me. Thanks.

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Will match video or the entire live stream be posted anywhere?

Re: Madtown 2016
 

Ditto

Re: Madtown 2016
 

A stream archive can be found here. CVR is working on splitting the video and getting it on YouTube however that may be a week or two before it's completed.
