From the Hershey Center - The pits are as quiet as can be, only the sound of a hockey game in the next arena. It seems that all robots are present and accounted for, the arena is set and almost all have gone home for a sleep. See you all tomorrow as we prepare to kick off FIRST'S best regional, GTR.

Btw, Team 188 is willing to exchange its scouting database with other teams at GTR. If you are interested and will have a reasonable amount of data compiled, then come talk to our head scout sometime tommorrow or friday. Team 188 would prefer to make the exchange after the awards ceremony on Friday. We have 12 people scouting matches, 6 for robot and 6 for human player. If you'd like a look at our new database ask for the head scout. Our head scout will mainly be at the stands and if your lucky, you can find him in the pits strategizing. Ask for Zuhaib and if that's too hard, Zboy. OR if you are aware of Shawn Lim (team 188's coach) you may talk to him. Please approach us as soon as possible.

Best of luck teams!

I have also asked that it be available to everyone, not just CAnada and was told that they would.

I would like to give a big thanks to Discovery Channel for all that they have done in the past and this year.

I am trying to view the telecast, cna anyone else view the telecast or is it just being blocked at my work site.

Took me quite awhile to find the actual live cast, but it is working fine for me in Waterloo, ON.

Though I notice that FRC-spy doesn't seem to be getting GTR.

Re: 2009 Greater Toronto Regional
 
Just for fun, here are the OPR match predictions as of Q55. These are usually about 60% accurate, aka marginally better than flipping a coin. Don't take the scores too seriously, they're just the sum of each alliance's OPRs, and are mainly an indication of whether a match will be close or a blowout. And of course, this doesn't take into account teams improving their strategies or robots.

Code:

Re: 2009 Greater Toronto Regional
 
I've been watching regionals online this weekend. I've seen about seven today, but of course, GTR is of most interest, being the closest to home and having many friends there. (188, 1126, 1503, etc.) It's pretty cool seeing Karthik announcing again too.

But, having been to three regionals this year and watched so many online, I just have to comment that GTR has the best music!

Good luck to everyone. I'll be watching tomorrow, as I'm sure many more will be. I'm looking forward to seeing some great play!

Re: 2009 Greater Toronto Regional
 
I totally agree with you Doc. The music at GTR is so much better than any other event. I didn't think it was that great originally, and then Bond came on and I declared it best ever... haha.

Can anyone find a loophole to ban Cotton Eyed Joe, Sandstorm, and Soulja Boy from regionals for interfering with the vision system or something?

Re: 2009 Greater Toronto Regional
 
I've been to five regionals and my nod for best music goes to Philli (the Deejay was working the night before at a club and put his club playlist on by mistake. I asked him if he could play it again. It didn't sound so dated like FIRSTs is).

Actually I like the music they play at GTR, sure some of it is older/classic but it's quite the mix and it's good music. Of course I'm listening to it twice as loud in my earphones off my wireless from the camera and I can't believe some of the songs they played but it was so much fun hearing them.

The DJ is phenomenal, it's like he constantly feels the pulse of the event and chooses the right song at the right time....almost.

I can only expect the music to be much louder and more energized Saturday during the finals.

Re: 2009 Greater Toronto Regional
 
I really enjoy the music the DJ does at Waterloo/GTR (same DJ if im correct). It's a shame he's getting paid, because if he wasn't, i'd be the first to say he deserves a Regional Outstanding Volunteer Award a few years down the road

I've never gone to a Canadian regional, but yet, i find myself watching them, not because of the matches (there were many other great regionals on this weekend... not taking anything away from GTR). but the music during the break helped me be more productive at work (i had the webcast on in the background while doing my work, so i could "listen" to the matches)

The webcast currently crashes every single browser on my machine, it crashes windows media player if I play it outside of the browser, and it also crashes all the browsers and media players on my other computer.

This is running Windows XP.

This behavior started about 15 minutes ago.
