Thanks guys- I'm still in shock. (Of couse hitting the floor on the way to the stage didn't help either!!) :D

WC :cool:

That guy above me is the most deserving WFA candidate off the top of my head.

Great day today, we made a lot of changes just before we left today so look for a new 1403 tommorow (we have the second highest point average right now)

My Short List:
25- Top
103- Three
486- Shooters
56
88
293
1089
224
1156
1676
102-Best corner goal scorer

25 and 486 today also set a new high score, 135 if i'm correct. Whatever it was, it was a really well played match both teams have purely dominating shooters. (and 25 fixed their autonomous so now the video they posted is completely legit)

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

What about team 375? I know the rankings say 1st, but what about actual play? Any praises? Any criticisms?

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

375 was a great team. We played with them, they're good people, and have a great machine.

Thanks for considering 1089 on your short list :). We were off to a really rough start, but it seems like we've pulled it together quite nicely. Now we need to go for consistency to make us pickable. We're getting there, though, and are excited for tomorrow.

We're currently trying to figure out why some of our rc digital inputs aren't working -- our Geartooth sensor was fine before ship, but now it's not. Very bizarre.

But we finally got our camera code up, so...
void auto_adjust(void) will soon be active! :)


Oh, by the way, Wayne, I heard that your team was so shocked and sad when they heard the quotes and thought "That wasn't from our essay!" But as soon as we heard it, Carli and Sara screeched it out. I'm surprised you guys didn't hear them: they're the loudest in the building.

Congrats again :)

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

The video that they had before was WITHOUT using camera code. It's even MORE legit now!!

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

I just wanna say thanks to all the teams for helping make today's event run smoothly, we had some replay issues, but I think we've taken the precautions to make sure that doesn't happen tomorrow...

If anyone's up to read this, are there any critisms for my announcing? Anything i should keep doing, do better? I'd appreciate the input.

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

On the FIRST website, Team 1187 has 4 wins but is ranked below a team with only 2 wins. Can anyone make sense of this? (Numerous other examples)

41 550 Warren County Technical School 2-3-0 6
42 1187 Mercedes Benz/NJIT & Newark Public Shcools & University High School 4-2-0 4.5

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

I definately know that there were some issues with scoring and the way that seeding was happening...if you also notice team 11 which is 4-1 is ranked behind a team that is 3-3, i know the scorers (the lovely Sara) was working on it after Closing ceremonies, and everything should be working by tomorrow...I hope

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

Hey,

First off congrats to everyone on a great regional so far. I'm happy to share that we finally worked the shooter alignment back to preship condition and we can consistently sink auto now.

Thats just a Shameless plug however now on to bigger and better things, My First question is was match 55 canceled? We were queuing and were turned away but now the Standings page indicates a 20-0 loss? I assume that just another one of the bugs?

Secondly was that open source scouting system ever set up for the NJ regional? We used a new system this year and I have a sinking feeling some of our data is skewed I just wanna cross check it.

Thanks, and I look forward to an exciting Saturday

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

If you're referring to FIRST Scouting Network, it apparently isn't done yet, and no 1st Week regionals have it.

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

Match 55 I believe was rescheduled to start at 8:15 tomorrow before opening ceremonies, see yeah bright and early. And like what was stated before this is the unofficial score right now, the official one will be released sometime tomorrow hopefully by 9:00.

FSN is still in the trial stages so it isn't being released for the NJ regionally officially. You'll see it more at the later regionals after it gets debugged a bit more. If you want to cross-reference some of your Data I'm sure some teams would be willing to trade information with each other, it doesn't hurt to ask around.

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

WAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats man!

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

Congratulations to Wayne!

A much deserved award for you and your team.

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

Could someone elaborate on the awards? Specifically Innovation in Control. What did 225 do to receive it?

A transcript of the judge's speeches gets you a cookie (substitute cookie for rep point)

Re: 2006 NJ Regional
 

Btw i was there today. And not to be rude. But i was rather disappointed with 103s shooting. We are by far not even tapping into our shooting potential so you wont see us shoot unless we need to..

but i think theres still a lot more in stock tmrw i really wanna see some of the other teams that are usually VERY good top up their day today, by performing tmrw. 25 what can i say amazing shooting guys.

I was also surprised with 303, i think they have some more things in store to stand out.. but overall really good day.
BTW the team thats surprising me the most right now has to be 75...

Umm also i dont know how they are calculating avrage...
But in our 4 matches 7-27-42-52 our scores were 23, 58, 56, 30
Can anyone calrify how the ranking is done....


ITS REALLY COLD in that ARENA, got me a cold and a head ache!!! But ill still be there tmrw. I mean its freezing in there.
