First Seed Out
The First Seed was eliminated.
Can't believe it.... |
The first seed had a great team, best stacker out of the whole competition, and their #1 seed was a rookie team!
I was peronally pulling for them, but they lost their fisrt match by 30 pts, and couldn't come back They came within 3 pts! Props to seed #8's alliance for upsetting #1 |
I was pulling for them too....
You are right they had the best stacker and best rookie I ever seen. Quote:

DougHogg- I'm not exactly sure what happened to Cheif Delphi's battery, but it happened to a lot of other teams too. Some teams batteries even fell off of their bot!
Make sure your battery is secured. Also, there was one team that forget to connect their battery for their robot before the competition, so it just sat there during the competition, don't let that happen to you. |

I remember a suggestion from FIRST in the manual to secure the battery connection with some velcro. We never did before, but we are going to start. |

Tie wrap the battery connectors together
I'm the coach and can tell you that I messed up by not taking all the time alloted to set up carefully enough. I felt the connector snap together, but our battery location wasn't the best and I couldn't get a tie wrap to fit around the connection, if my life depended on it. Another lesson learned - here - we will be re-arranging the battery connector to get to it easier. Tough brake for us - but, no one to blame but me!
As for the regional, Congrats to Team 27 and their partners - they fought for everything and earned a GREAT victory! And to our partners - Team 33 Killer Bees and 191 Wilson Xerox - you are GREAT partners, sorry we let you down. Hope to get another chance, so we can redeem ourselves. To the teams that gave us awards and compliments - I'd just like to say "Thanks"- those really do mean alot to us. Goodluck to all - next weekend. Can't wait to get back into the battle - just 2 weeks till Great Lakes! |
Team 522 had the same issue last year at the NYC Regionals. We accidentally forgot to tie rap the battery connection due to being rushed on and off the field. the match that counted most was the one where we forgot to tie rap the battery connection. towards the middle / end of the match a robot came along snagged the connection and neither or us gained many points after that.

about the first seeded team being eliminated..my team,573, was paired with them for the first match and our robot had been running fine for the most part during the entire comp, minus a track being knocked off here and there,but it was fixed before picking...no one even saw it coming but for some odd reason during the autonomous mode when were going to knock down the wall the battery drained EXTREMELY fast, if you watch the SOAP video you can see that our light was dying, had it not died it would have been real easy for us to spread our wings and clear the ramp like we've done before.
also at the end of the second match there wasnt enough room for team 73 to get up the ramp so it went back to knock some bins off the ramp into the zone, if im not mistaken their robot was still touching one of the bins which was touching others when time ended they did have an excellent robot, they had made a nice stack and held it until the end we feel real bad about what happened because we had high hopes for that alliance and we would like to thank 1022 for picking us and wish them and team 73 the best of luck. |
