Will Monty Madness be allowing live video feedback from the robot to the driver's station during matches this year (a larger back channel)?

Can't wait, good luck to everyone!

Re: 2009 Monty MADNESS: We're Backk......Again
 

If its allowed in the FIRST rule book then we will allow it at MONTY, we are going by the FIRST rules.

Re: 2009 Monty MADNESS: We're Backk......Again
 

No. There is no change to rules (as stated above) or the hardware/software running the field at the event

does anybody know what the extreme game of FACE OFF is going to be any hints for the teams??

Re: 2009 Monty MADNESS: We're Backk......Again
 

Wont be there due to my brother's graduation but thought I'd waste some time having fun making some of my own predictions. It should be a phenomenal event. I know my team is very pumped to be attending this year.

Disclaimer: These predictions are my own that I've made out of my own boredom. :P

1) 2753 1923 136
2) 103 25 2590
3) 224 11 1089
4) 1807 223 1370
5) 341 56 834
6) 102 694 271
7) 1626 1403 1640
8) 293 75 1279

1/8. 2/7. 6/3. 4/5. 4/2. 1/6. 1/4

It's not that I don't have hope for my own team. I surely do but I personally don't believe that should be reflected in predictions.

Re: 2009 Monty MADNESS: We're Backk......Again
 

just a note it wouldn't be 6 vs 1 and 4 v 2. it would be 1 vs 4 and then 2 vs 6

Re: 2009 Monty MADNESS: We're Backk......Again
 

Oh Thank you! I wasn't sure so I just kind of guessed. My mistake. So in that case I would replace it with 1/4 6/2 1/6

Sorry about that.

Re: 2009 Monty MADNESS: We're Backk......Again
 

So will picking within the top 8 be allowed? I know in previous years Monty has had different rulings on this.

I didn't quote the original post because I need to use italics. Alliance selection is over, here's the comparison. I hope I got it right!

Bold = right alliance, right place
Underlines = right alliance, wrong place
Italics = in the eliminations

1) 2753 1923 136
2) 103 25 2590
3) 224 11 1089
4) 1807 223 1370
5) 341 56 834
6) 102 694 271 (the alliance is right, but 694 and 102 are switched and it's actually the 5th alliance)
7) 1626 1403 1640
8) 293 75 1279

Still nice work on pegging 102/694/271, though.

Re: 2009 Monty MADNESS: We're Backk......Again
 

It was actually the 4th alliance advancing in the quarters.

Congrats to the number 2 seed - it was a very exciting day at Monty.

And I too am surprised at how well sammyjalex picked those alliances. You have a crystal ball or something? Haha.
