The last match was without a doubt the best FTC match I've seen this entire season. 74 started out by picking up their opponents rings and dumping them in their basket, preventing 13 from picking them up. By 1:15, the field was nearly bare of rings.

I liked the battle we had against team 3 with keeping the goals and moving goals so their stacker bot missed the rings it was trying to score.

Anyone got any footage?

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I am also requesting footage of the elimination matches for FTC. If anyone has them I will gladly pay for shipping and even a small fee if they are complete.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I've hosting space too if anyone wants to put it online. :o

Re: FTC World Championships
 

i have a bunch of pictures that i can put online... if i can find a place to upload them
i took 500 pictures from just the friday of the VEX event, so yeah.... lots of pictures there

Re: FTC World Championships
 

23, 30, and 74 definitely deserved the win! We already knew how awesome 23 was after they beat us at San Diego, and even when we kept 30 from scoring they still managed to win on goals. Congratulations to the winning alliance from team 25! We'll see you next year!

(To the Einstein's Daughters, if they read this- enjoy your trophy. :p)

COngrats to team 74,30 and 23 in a fantastic win for the Edison DIvison :D

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Here is some video of one of the matches with 30, 74 (I think final on Edison or the match we pulled a 121 pointer, I really don't know. By the way this is the first video of Overdrive uploaded this whole season).

And here is one of the final matches but I am guessing the user that posted this video will upload the second match in a while.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Heh, the FTC championship was a nice compliment to not getting picked in Curie. Beach Cities had a blast. See you all next year???

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Probably. Who cares about those ungainly big robots? They look kind of grotesque now. Midirobots rule.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Hopefully. :)

Re: FTC World Championships
 

The first Edison quarter final was with 30 & 74 where we combined for a score of 121. The second quarter final was with 30 & 23, where we scored a total of 119. I believe those were the two highest scoring matches in the tournament!

The first final between the two divisions was really exciting for us. We got to show off the full capability of our bot when it really counted! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the second single goal open up in the last 15 seconds. Team 25 had it locked up for the majority of the match! When I got onto the field to check the position, I found it was only in our zone by 0.5"!

Special thanks to 25, 30, and 74. You guys rocked!

Heh, you guys did a great job of getting that last goal. Unfortunately, we had to let it go while we tried to prevent 30 from scoring- if they'd gotten those rings on it wouldn't have mattered whether you guys got the goal or not. Eh, you win some, you lose some.

It was always funny when both alliances were trying to score on the post at the same time and we'd be frantically trying to move one end while keeping the other as still as possible. Thank goodness Mr. Roboto had that hook. :D

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I was really happy to see southern California teams in the finals! It seemed our paths always crossed at the finals though. I remember thinking, "these gals can play some serious defense; we have our work cut out for us." Perhaps next year we can pair up like we did in LA!
