Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

I think the scoring system is screwed up. On match #53 today. As the match finished i'm pretty sure the screen flashed a score of 32 Red and 28 blue. Then they have to subtract penalties and add points for robots on the ramps.. after all was added together. There were no penalties given. and Red had one bot on and blue had 2 bots on. Making the score 37 to 38. Blue team wins. but final score showed something like 37 to 19. How'd that happen?

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

The scoring was turned off on the main screen when an error occured. That should account for most of the errors that appear to those watching.

The joys of VCU. Nothing like that kareoke and crowd surfing with 1002. Too bad we didn't get to sing the Eye of the Tiger. Besides the one or two issues we had with the field early on, the matches have been moving along very quickly.

so far, the scoring system has messed up for us at least twice that we know of. We have won more than the matches that the scoring system says we have (2-6) and should have won the last one but the red bot in 79 was ruled ot be on the ramp and the driver of 1095 and i saw that it had at least one wheel on the ground. the ref's disagreed (head ref would not go back and look at it anyways, grr). go figure.

Anyways, good job to all. And good luck in the Finals.

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional! No broadcast Sat.
 

Anyone know what's up? NASA TV was not showing any competition here on the west coast, and I can't get to any NASA web sites, including www.nasa.gov.

Did FRC crash the NASA web? That would be funny, especially since I don't work for NASA anymore.

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

Way to go team 1731...rookie #1 seed!

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

wow. I was watching alliance selection and i just can't believe that Epsilon Delta (116) wasn't picked.

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

I like 1,4,5,6 to go far in this regional.

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

I couldn't get on the NASA webcast site this morning but the Virginia FIRST site has the webcasts running.

Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!
 

I like 2 and 5 to make it deep into the regional. I wouldn't be suprised if number one alliance lost in the first round.
