Well, seeding matches have only just started. I'm going to call over there lunch time.

Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

234 seeded first and picked 60
980 seeded second and picked 190
1212 picked 3rd and picked 330

one of the first two alliances should be the favorites.

Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

I would like to keep seeing udates on: 60, 980, And 696
Thanks

Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

I heard that 60 designed a new hook that can hang even when 190 is blocking the bar, but they haven't been able to try it against 190 yet.

That should be an interesting matchup.

Is there a webcast if this event somewhere?

Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

Ok, I talked to a member of 254 who is there helping out and this is what he told me:

190 has been able to get to the platform during auto mode, but theyve only ben able to hang 50% of the time.

190's shields, when deployed optimally, leave around 3" of the bar uncovered on either end, which allows someone with a good enough driver to get a hook on there, or to push up on the end of it to get their hook on under the shields.

60 made a new hook last night that allows them to deal with 190's shields (Im not sure what's going on with this)

330 can shimmy on the bar, but apparently 60 is fast enough to drive to the other end of the bar before 330 can traverse it.

234's 3rd pick (868 I think) has been doing nothing but disrupting teams from hanging, which theyre real good at.

60 is hitting the ball in auton, grabbing the goal, decapping it, and bringing it back to the player's station. Then they go to the opponents side of the field, herd all the balls back to their side, then do the same on their side. They get around 60% of the balls to their HP per match

I cant remember what else I heard, but it sounds like it's going to be 60+234+868 and 980+190+their partner in the finals.

So much for everyone's picks for the finals. 1212 and 330 and their partner (585, I think) won. I'll get more details after the awards ceremony

Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

Both the 234 and 980 alliances lost in the semifinals. 60 broke in the semifinals. 330 had their robot controller die before the second match of the finals. Between the 6 minute timeout and scoring trouble, they had approximately 15 minutes to replace it and did. The Head Ref approached the opposing alliance and said that according to the rules 330 shouldn't be allowed to play, but asked them if they would like him to enforce that rule. The opposing alliance said that they would like 330 to compete.

selection of awards:

champion: 1212, 330, 585
finalist: 498, 696, 80

chairmans 330
sportsmanship: 498, 696, 80 for allowing 330 to compete

Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

A big round of applause to Don Knight, the queing crew, and the AV and field setup and teardown people. All you folks are just great!

Re: UPDATE: AZ Regional

Wow! What a trip! We got back at 6:00 A.M. Sunday after what turned out to be a fourteen hour drive. We went as an evaluation team and ended up being volunteers when they got caught in a pinch late Thursday. It was a great way to get to know things close up.
All of my people ended up on the field or thereabouts. I (the short shooter) was in charge of blue alliance reset with Evan (pole boy) and Lisa (the other shooter) helping out, Cara (the redhead) was put in charge of red alliance reset, and Karl was the one who helped you all cue up on the blue side of the field. Everyone says they had a blast and are now completely obsessed with starting a team. This is largely due to the example you all set with your courtesy, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship. We were especially impressed with the gracious professionalism shown by the teams that allowed team 330 to participate in the final round. It also made for an exciting finish for the day.
Thank you so much to the teams that provided valuable information and offers of support to us. We’d also like to especially thank those of you who gave us a heads up when entering the field while we were distracted with the reset. We avoided many bruises because of you. Thanks for your patience as well when the balls came back down on us while shooting.
I’d also like to thank the girl who loaned me her blue poodle/circle skirt so I could be the head ref’s example for his brief lecture on proper dress after giving our announcer friend a fashion penalty.
The people who worked with us at the side of the field made us feel like family and we were sad when it came time to say goodbye. We felt really bad that we had to leave right after the last match in order to get back in time to fill our responsibilities back in Utah, but alas that is life.
We hope to see you all again as a new team next year.

Thanks from:
The CEU Evaluation Team
Cara, Karl, Evan, Lisa, and Amber

P.S. some of the bots earned pet names from the reset crew for their stand out performance and appearance. I’ll post them later if anyone is interested.
