2007 Championship
 

This is where anything about Championship 2007 can be talked about. I can only help that this will allow some teams and FIRSTer’s to find out up to date facts about what is happening in Atlanta.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who is going to be unable to see the matches so I am asking anyone who can to post match results, awards, events, pictures/videos, or anything that will help us all be able to see how teams are doing, to please do so. Since I can’t go, I cannot personally help with this but I would appreciate it if others could help.

Once again thanks to all who can help me out. Good luck to all teams at Atlanta!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

sorry i cannot help with you on all the things that you want but i can tell you that you should definaetly keep a look out for TEAM 1885 they went to both Las Vegas and VCU regional. both time they made it to the finals and both times were struck with signal failures to them or other alliance teammates they have since fixed that problem. Thaye have a rovck solid double ramp design that is easy to asscend and reliable. I have heard through rumor they just developed a newer design to score on both the medium and low goals that should bump their scoring up from an average of three a match and then returning to the home zone to deploy there awsome ramps.

they should do very well and i hope that they go all the way but it just matters on which team wants it more.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Updates from someone who's there would be great; I'll be stuck in school on Friday. Text message updates from friends who are there should keep me from going entirely nuts, but...:) Luckily, at least one teacher has already relented and said I can watch the webcast in her class; I think I can convince one other teacher, as well. We'll see.

Good luck to everyone going!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Remind me to text you, I don't have that much class on friday.

I, too, am stuck here. I can watch the webcast fairly often, but I know that it is going to drive me crazy to not be able to tell what is going on.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

It's almost time to rumble! Too bad, i can only root from the pc back in college. But i wish everyone luck!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

hmm... is it possible that anyone has the Curie match list for the day? It might make it easier rather than waiting for Mrs. Lamotte to check her voicemail.

If you don't, it's okay. I'll just glue my face to the screen XD

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Since I had trouble viewing the webcasts today, could anyone tell me some of the winners of any matches that they know?

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I assume that you are talking about FRC? If so, today is practice only and we will not have match lists until tomorrow, I think.

FVC has qualifying matches today however, if that is what you are speaking about but I don't have any match results.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Dave
Would you be able to post the match list tomorrow when you get it?

I don't think FIRST will have them on their website, and it would really help the webcast viewers!!!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Wow, I don't know how I could as there are 4 different divisions and about 350 teams.

However, if you can tell me hopefully just 1 team, I will try to list their matches, again I will try. I am sending this message from the Atlanta First pits on the Autodesk laptops.

If I find some place online that has the match list I will let you know but I would have to doubt that it would be there.

Incidently, I am friends with Guy from Israel team #1574. Their robot looks very good in practice so far.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Usually, the match list goes up on the FIRST website in the 'Match Results' page.
You can get that for every division on this page.

It should all be available once the field control system for each field syncs to the FIRST website.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

For regionals, it (usually) only goes up once the matches have been played, not before.

If ANYONE at championships has a camera and wants to take and post a bunch of pictures of the match schedule, the webcast viewers will be eternally grateful.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Gah, its almost worse being on Spring Break and watching from across the country...

Waiting for that match scedual. :)

Re: 2007 Championship
 

this year it was much faster, with results posted real time for each match.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

That was great, if there was no webcast or anything....but a lot of people (like myself) are stuck at school and want to watch our teams play, not just know how they did after the fact. It'd be really awesome if someone, or FIRST, could post the list like they have in years past.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I agree, I'm keeping track of four teams; I'd love to try and catch them play tomorrow, but it'll be kind of hard without a list.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Hey guys. There is a website that might help solve your problems.:D :D
http://www.soap108.com

It has videos of all the regionals and the matches in Atlanta. You may have to wait a while for the videos of the Atlanta Competition to be updated though.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Seeing as I am stuck Watching the web cast also it would be nice to have the list ahead of time....but I Am 98% Sure the match list isn't released until Friday morning...I could ask one of our teams mentors to post it tomorrow but time is valuable so I doubt it...unless some one else can take the time to post it(not sure of the WiFi Situation In the pits).

Re: 2007 Championship
 

But it doesn't solve our problem of not being able to watch them live without watching every single match.

If anyone is watching FVC, squirrel just posted photos of the match schedule in another thread.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Sorry, the laptops at Autodesk do not have USB connections for my camera. Sorry. Maybe someone with their own laptop? :mad:

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Darn, thanks for trying though.

...got match lists for 1141 (galileo)?

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Darn it. Thanks for trying!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Here you go for 1141.... 12 33 57 66 79 100.

To you and everyone else looking for match lists. This is about all I have time for. I have to look through the entire match list to pick your team number out so it is time consuming. Dave

Re: 2007 Championship
 

So.....what did everyone think about the Friday action in Atlanta?

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Looked sweet on Gal webcast and NASA TV!

Impressed with the usual big named robots and as always the surprises!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Looked pretty good in Curie as well. My team may've lost 4, but at least they fought every single match. I couldn't ask for more from my team ^_^ I miss them.

GO WOBOT!!! <3 to Team 141.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I didn't realize how hard it would be to find my teams. Each arena is like a regional with 86 people in them. Tons of matches but each team only gets about 4 games. With my school schedule, I was only able to watch the webcasts during lunch and 4th period. I only caught 4 matches I was looking for. Pretty great competition though.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Team I'm cheering for isn't doing so well either, didn't see them move in the last match, hope they're ok. In the meen time, go 100! I'm sure you've fixxed whatever broke. Should be just as exciting tomorrow as well. =D

Re: 2007 Championship
 

WE'RE TENTH IN NEWTON!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Also like to say congracts to 1114 on thier win on the FVC field!

I still can't believe i had a very simliar design in my head before i saw your bot. Only if the team stayed afloat, we might been able to play with you guys down there.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I was watching that match. I was so dissapointed to see the robot stop.:(

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Does anyone know how to get the results for FLL today? I was watching all of the FRC matches that I could and didn't get to see any of our local team's (2066) matches.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Any idea what made it stop? All I saw was after autonomous it didn't move at all... battery failure or fuse coming lose?

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I just have to give a couple of shouts outs to:

In Newton

5 Place: 1089
8th Place: 181

In Galileo

14: 1712

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I tried watching matches from Newton and Archimedes but the first 20 or so from each of them are really poor quality videos. Kinda like a slideshow with sound. And after a while my video player quit playing them because it said they were corrupted.:( Has anybody else tried and had these problems or is it just a problem with my computer?

Re: 2007 Championship
 

After about 15 seconds it quits out, says the player isn't compatible. However, some of the others I can watch.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

You know, its interesting how fast your heart beats during those matches. I mean I wasn't even there and I could feel the intensity of the match. My heartbeat is just now coming back to a normal speed. I plan to sleep tonight but I can almost guarantee that I won't be getting any sleep. I'm too anxious to see Saturday!

Also...
Alex, I wouldn't be too worried, Sparx has one of the best bots in Atlanta.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Well, after looking through the FIRST Website, I found the team listings of all the teams in every division and results. Hope this will help you guys. :cool:

Einstein Division
Archimedes Division
Cuire Division
Galileo Division
Newton Division

Our Team is in 8th place in the Archimedes Division :D :D :D

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I am very pleased with the amount of ringers and keepers being scored in contrast to the regional first day qualifiers. There were multiple 100+ scores per division and many were getting the rack 3/4 full. This regularity also led to more spoiler play, which is just fantastic :).

The level of play today just makes me anxious for the insanity of the elimination rounds coming up. The level of competition always builds across an event and this one has already started at a very high level.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

as expected so far, all the top teams we played in two tough regionals, NJ and LV, are ALL undefeated so far!!!! ex. 254, 25, and 1425. So is 330.
If 25 or 1425 make it as the #1 seed, they will be deadly as teammates vs. 254 and 233 as teammates vs 330 and 1114. If those teams make it to Einstein out the respective divisions, it will be a battle to REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!
The other team that I was highly impressed with that we lost to due to ramps in LV is team 79. They can score very well and their drivers are awesome.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

8 teams from Wisconsin, all in one panoramic picture -- check out Autostitch if you're curious how I did this.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Is there going to be video of closing ceremonies today?

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Its official. Teams 190, 177, and 987 have won the Championship in 3 matches (Final score of the final match: 59 - 54). Congratulations! You guys played great!
Now time to get ready for next year.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

This was by far the craziest and most unpredictable Championship...EVER!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I am highly dissapointed with Championships this year. I am upset for many reasons, none of which are due to any performance of any team that I am affiliated with. They are FIRST oriented problems that I will probably get into on a later date, now I am too tired and need to eat. I have seen the Copioli light, or at least one of a different shade.

Let down,
Henry Sick

Re: 2007 Championship
 

this post wins

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Yeah I won something, but seriously congrats to Team 190, 177 and 987 for winning it all and for prooving that Newton was the superior division. Team 573 had a blast and even though we didn't get to eliminations (if you can believe it) we had a great time. Can't wait to see what FIRST comes up with for next year. Plus the the whole DARPA thing was super cool! (Stanley Rocks!)

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Both teams 190 and 987 were at Silicon Valley - proving one again we're the regional that leads to Einstein.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I am still shocked that 190, 987, and 177 pulled it off. I was rooting for pink (233), and also wanted to see BEATTY (71) get their 5th, but congrats to 177! Shocked! Never expected them to go that far.

On another note, the ref'ing at this year's Championship was absolute garbage. The calls were stupid. And again, I am shocked! I would not have thought this aspect of the competition would have been a problem.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Videos from Einstein are making their way onto The Blue Alliance Match Archive System, and video from all of the divisions will be added over the next two days. There's almost 500 matches to convert, so bear with us, but check out Einstein in the mean time!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I have to agree with you on this one Joel. From everything I saw, and all the complaints I'm hearing, I've never seen as bad an event. Each field had their own little quirks about matches, and each field really didn't seem to be running as most regionals did. There were tons of uncalled penalties. It was disgusting really.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Theres a team when they are introduced, they have this chopping warrior dance thing. Does anyone know their number cause I forgot. I'm trying to find a video of them doing that dance for a promo video of FIRST.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

It was a team from the great state of Hawaii!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

thanks alex. make me go search for it. haha

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Yes i was going to edit the post stating i have no clue what the team number was.

i got distra... oh butterfly.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I belive that was Team 2024 from Hilo, HI

Re: 2007 Championship
 

This is certainly team 2024 from Hilo, HI, as Alex mentioned.

They are a fantastic group of people and one of my biggest regrets from this weekend was never having the chance to watch them compete on the field. Their war dance is, without a doubt, the best pre-match hype I've ever seen at a FIRST event.
