Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

ive been checking atleast 3 times a day... i wish they could post the entire event unedited so that everyone could see and feel the energy at SVR :cool:

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

yea that would be very nice. imagine how big the file would be though...


if i'm not mistaken, SVR was broadcast on the NASA channel so i guess you could have recorded it. or recorded the webcast.

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

by the way, does anyone know why soap says "sj (291 MB)", when theres nothing in the folder?

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

i probably wouldve if i werent there on the field the whole time... but thats alright.... NEXT YEAR I SHALL DIGITALLY RECORD IT AND SAVE IT ON A TERABYTE DRIVE!!!!! BWAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! (ran out of air) BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

ok... im done... :D

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

Probably because the files are started but not finished


just to put in for the who checks it the most, I have it open on my iPhone all day so whenever I want to check something SOAP is right there taunting me with no videos of my team

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

I believe the finals matches are up now, although I haven't been able to view them.

Also, a request which I also posted in the TBA forum: If anyone from SOAP reads this, I would appreciate it if they could post a video of the entire finals, including what happened during the breaks. I think this will be helpful to those who are looking at what happened (although like someone else said, you should post all the footage you have anyway!)

EDIT: The video labeled as Finals 1 is actually a semifinal match, and I couldn't view video of any of the SVR matches on SOAP-I don't know whether this is due to my computer or on their side.

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

We just finished the Hawaii Regional, where the calls by the refs were Fantastic by the way. Unlike SVR where someone was in the complaint box after EVERY match from both sides, I don't recall seeing anyone there but a few times and almost everyone walked away feeling OK. We had to face the dreaded 254 Poofs again - this time in the semi-finals with the also dreaded team 233 -Pink!! I'm warning all you out there...don't them get together in Atlanta! We took them to three games and handed pink their only loss in Hawaii but succombed to better bots. It was a hard fought match that saw pink go on its back three times. At least this one didn't go a fourth match??? Team 254 and 233 went on to slaughter in the finals...setting a regional record of 148 points I believe in one match.
Did team 8 and team 192 ever hear anything about being invited to Nationals?? I hope this got cleared up!! BTW - the team social was a Hawaiian Luau on the beach - complete with Kalua pig and poi followed by fireworks over the ocean. Team Pink won the poi chugging contest - go figure?? Sign up EARLY next year for Hawaii!! We may not even be able to attend our own regional next year due to demand?? We hope to come back to SVR! Aloha,

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

MVRT has videos of the finals up on their YouTube Page. Check 'em out!

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

Take a look at who's playing. I believe the video labeled Finals 1 is actually Finals 1. During Finals 1, the announcer misspoke and called it Semi-Finals 1, at least once, maybe twice. I noticed it at the time while there, and then again while watching the video.

I will get the remainder of the SVR videos posted as soon as I can, but it will be a little while. I had a family emergency shortly after SVR, and am currently out of the country on a business trip. I'll be home in a week, and then I can resume posting the videos.

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

I've watched the videos... F3-a at the very end, you can definitively tell its a red robot supporting the blue ball, and the match score shows no bonus. Theres your failure right there. Blue should have won, regional over. But alas, thats not how it went down.

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

Oh-like I said, I wasn't getting video, only audio O_O

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

Just to let you all know, we heard back from FIRST this morning.

They are giving teams 8 and 192 (team 2024 already qualified) a chance to go to nationals this year.
We (team 8) are still deciding whether we should go, even if we can find the money.

Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
 

I really hope this doesn't become standard policy for FIRST.....
