Re: 2007 Red Advantage
 

There was a huge advantage for red in some of the later matches at the Florida Regional, because teams on the blue side repeatedly lost communication because of field problems. I guess there were a few such cases on the red side, but it appeared to be mostly the blue teams that lost communication.

Oh cool. I thought we were just lucky to be blue all the time in eliminations.

Re: 2007 Red Advantage
 

We were on red, and we also had lagging problems.

Re: 2007 Red Advantage
 

That is not quite true. In the Florida semi-finals, the 4 seed knocked off the 1 seed. In the finals, the 4 seed was red and the 2 seed was blue. If all the higher seeds WIN then the higher seed is red.

Also, the original post was from a Florida person. In Florida we had to play through intermitent radio problems that they could not rectify. While the announcers said the problem was on both sides of the field, this was not really the case. The problem affected the blue side, and could definitely account for the difference.

When we played our matches, I preferred the blue side. I could see the big screen which was normally focused in on big plays. It helped me out a lot to be on blue.

I asked about this in the Florida Regional thread, and here was the response:

Re: 2007 Red Advantage
 

yeah, I would have to disagree. In the final round, my team was on the red alliance with 980 and 580. and against us we had 254, 330, and 4. We were clearly the underdogs, but for some reason we were on the red side? Anyways, the first match they scored 305 when we only scored 30. That was due in part to getting rammed a little bit too hard. But it was a great round.
