It was a Q&A... I'm not sure if it was in the original rules. I've edited my original post with the supporting information.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Congratulations to teams 358, 271, and 870 for winning the 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional after five matches.

Congratulations also to their opponents, teams 1468, 353, and 329.

Wow.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Is there any chance anyone who is there can be contacted so the official information can be released?

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Are you referencing the website as official information? It may be that the facility doesn't have internet access, so the scores aren't being updated. I'm not sure who's running scoring there this year, so I can't be sure.

In any case, FIRST will upload the data as soon as they're able to. I was on the telephone with my family in the stands, so I know at least that the information is accurate, if not official.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Well I hope so.
Because last yer if it wasn't updated when the event was occuring it wasn't updated at all (remember So Cal last year? Not one ounce of information was officially released). I hope that isn't the case this year.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Who was the alliance captain of the winning alliance? What seed did they pick as?

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

358 was first seed and the alliance captain.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

THANK YOU teams 358, and 870! You guys were amazing!

Yes, if we hadn't have won after 5 matches, there probably would have been a riot, it was almost statistically impossible for the final match to be delayed that long. Seriously, there were people ready to leave if it had gone longer.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Sorry for correcting you, but 271 did not win the spirit award, I think that we would be the LAST ones to win that :o

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

haha oops it was 287. How did I mess that one up? William Floyd and Aviation High were SO full of spirit :)

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Hey everyone. 1468 here to clear up what happened in the finals.

By Match 3 it was tied up 1-1 each. That round ended in a tie wich led to Match 4.

When Match 4 began the Blue Alliance dumped 10 balls in the goal and the Red Alliance shot 2 balls in the upper goal. However, even though Blue won autonomous, the computer gave the Auto. win to Red. Because of that, it went to Match 5, which Blue lost.

On a side note, during Match 4 Hauppauge's robot went through the lower goal. Unfortunatley, we didn't realize about calling it until after we called the autonomous error and started Match 5. If we called the lower goal immediatley, we could've DQ'ed the entire Red Alliance and won.

And on another side note, if anyone noticed, during the semi-finals, we switched our human player. I was the original human player, but right before Match 2 of the semi-finals, I sprained my back loading 329's robot with balls, and had to subtittute with one of our mechanics. Not that I'm complaining, but he threw with the light off, which may be one reason why we tied in Match 3 of the finals.

To all teams going to Georgia, good luck, god speed, and have fun representing Long Island.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

How were you in any position to disqualify the opposing alliance?

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

We saw that Hauppauge's robot had passed through the bottom goal during Match 4 by more than 3 inches.

And I appologize if I'm incorrect about any of this as I was on the sidelines injured, but I beleive that during the finals an incursion such as this is disqualification for either the alliance or just the one robot. Again, I'm sorry if I'm trying to be nasty about this. We give all our support to Hauppauge and the other Red Alliance teams, but this is just one little quirk that could've been said, but didn't. Regardless, congrats to the entire Red alliance for their victory.

Re: 2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional
 

Irrespective of what you saw, your team is no position to disqualify another alliance. I guess I just misunderstood your intent to point out the potential rule infraction to the referees who would then, y'know, do their job.
