From what I've seen most of the teams shown so far are high high number teams (lowest maybe a 1600), so it's not unexpected in my book. No 75 yet with their arm vs. 25 with their shooter... thing.... lifter.... elevator... stuff.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Hmm, remind me again...balls have to be removed from the overpass to be considered in play, therefore if a ball never left the overpass it doesn't count for the endgame correct?

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

it does.
just saw an hybrid for 16 total points by an alliance, 12 of them by a single team....niiiice

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

i wouldn't count out 11 and their mechanum...oops did i spill the beans?

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

1511 looks fairly quick. Not too much action right now.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

Note: 1811 (1611? 1511?), by plowing thru traffic, was able to do 4 laps in 60 seconds...not too shabby

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

seems to me like teams are having some hard time removing the trackballs.
The winner has for now been always decided by balls left on the overpass in the end of the game...

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

There were some fast robots in that last match, and the fastest one (sorry, can't see team #s) also appeared to clothesline itself in the overpass.

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

they also plowed into the wall at the beginning of the match

The webcast is up and running. We had a couple issues earlier, but now is all well. It is difficult to orchestrate this stuff when I'm 1300+ miles away. :p So far, so good.

You can use http://nj.webcast.soap108.com/ which redirects to the proper stream url. Enjoy!

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

WOW! a shooters almost had it, but lost the ball last sec...:(

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

was that the same same bot that helped the red team robot get unstuck from the overpass?

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

I HEAR DISTURBED.. FOR THE WIN! lol never heard disturbed at a region be4 yay :) im so happy right now haha

Re: 2008 New Jersey Regional
 

There's a very fast robot with bright blue bumpers who I foresee racking up a lot of points in rough-handling penalties tomorrow if their drivers don't start being a bit more courteous. They plowed into several robots at full speed trying to complete laps.

Edit: 2016, looks like. Very fast robot (5 laps in the match I watched), but my impression was they were a bit lax in avoiding slower traffic.

Edit2: ooo, low-number match coming up.
