What kind of good things and thanks I want to meet you in Atlanta too. I'll come visit your pit :D

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I have a question is there going to be like a dvd that teams can buy after the championship at all?

Re: FTC World Championships
 

330 better go, they are the best team in this competition.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I guess we'll find that out in two weeks, won't we. :]

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Just some talk on the Vexforum. As for who is the best in this competition. There is not a robot in this competition that could win it by its self. You need a well balanced alliance parter to round your alliance in order to do well.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

doesn't it say in the rules that a team can only attend 3 regionals?

Re: FTC World Championships
 

That's for sure. In Washington I only saw one robot totally dominate one match, and they didn't make into the finals due to an unfortunate incident. In a quarterfinal match, Captain Hook (417) managed to grab one goal, and push the paired goal against the side, trapping the final goal against the side. One of their opponents' robots was trapped sideways between two goals and couldn't move (they weren't pinned, it's just that they weren't strong enough to move the goals out of the way, and they couldn't drive under the bar between the paired goals.) Hook's alliance had also won autonomous. Thirty-eight points scored by 20 seconds into teleoperated, and their partner just spent the rest of the match blocking the open goals from the one robot on the opposing alliance that could move. It wasn't exciting, particularly, but it was awesome.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Only the first 3 count for awards (like Inspire or Think). A team can attend as many regionals as they like and win. If they win they still receive the winning alliance award.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

It is very true that you need an good alliance partner because one team if defended can be beat but if you have 2 robots that are even and both can score on 24" then you have a better chance at winning. It does not mean though that one team can't just dominate by scoring all the points for the alliance but it means you need a back up plan just in case :)

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I have uestion, have the first tech challenge divisions been anounced and where are the fields for the first tech challenge championship on the map. All i see are the frc and fll places.

Re: FTC World Championships
 

I had the privledge of seeing this team in action at the Diamond State FTC Competition and the New Jersey FTC Competition. They are outstanding in all aspects... from their efficently built machine to the team orgaization and cheering to community stuff.

Hopefully I can find time during the weekend to stop by the FTC section in Atlanta and see those cute lil vex robots :p Good luck to all FTC teams!!!

Re: FTC World Championships
 

The field is Da Vinci with 2 division (Edison and Franklin) and is located between Newton and Archimedes

Re: FTC World Championships
 

Anyone else worried that they may have placed the fields too close together? Presumably there will be matches going on at the same time right? With the fields this close together I'm worried that people in the audience will get confused between announcers and fields. Also there is the crystal problem... I was expecting them to keep the fields far apart to minimize interference.

OR are they still only going to run one match at a time, just with four fields...

Re: FTC World Championships
 

On the map the da vinci is where the fll championship is going on right , unless ftc is there too?

Re: FTC World Championships
 

They will most likely be running 4 matches at a time and the fields will be far enough away from each other so you can see all the fields at once with little interference problems
