Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
From my understanding, our alliance captain never received a reply. The match was already a replay and was marred by countless delays. I really don't know what happened. We asked a number of refs...

Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
Alright, I feel that this discussion is drawing towards it's natural conclusion.
I just wanted to summarize some of the things that I've seen repeated and that we can all agree on.

Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
Yes, FIRST does a very good job. It got me to where I am today. The volunteers are amazing and you can never thank them enough. Yes, the attitude of FIRST is pretty great. However, that doesn't mean...

Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
Yes, FTA was made aware very early on.
The update issue was not of concern during eliminations. We checked everything. The problems stemmed from something else. We don't know what.

Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
I definitely consoled my team as well. We found solace in the Industrial Design award. We're fine. I just wanted to hear the community's opinion on the matter. I'm sorry if I seemed to be whining....

Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
To clarify, it was not our system that was malfunctioning. The problem stemmed from driver station updates. If one team's driver station was not fully updated, the entire alliance would lag out. We...

Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
I would personally be fine with the webcast video being used for evidence. It's pretty clear to see that there wasn't a penalty even in the video that I linked. I'd be fine with just using that.
I'm...

Re: Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
Yes. The controller for our (334) shooter/climber was not functioning due to FMS. We had a lot of problems with connectivity during the entire regional mainly due to team members not having updates.

In response to some comments:

Re: FRC New York City Regional 2013
Despite everything, team 334 really enjoyed working with you guys and 1635. You had great bots, attitudes, and members. We look forward to working with you in the future.
I would also like to...

Some thoughts on rules, refs, and ranking
Hey guys,
After finishing up the New York City regional, I lost a lot of the respect that I had for FIRST. I don't mean for this to be a rant or anything, I just want to hear the community's opinion...

Re: Team 334 Shooter

Re: pic: Fresh Off The CNC
Yes, the pillow block bearing was machined. We went over it with emery cloth to get that nice finish. We're probably going to do that for most of out parts because it just looks great.

Re: Well played GDC
It is a rather difficult game in many ways, but everything is definitely doable. This year's game forces teams to perhaps not aim to be all-around all-stars, but to specialize on one or two tasks....

Re: 2012 NYC Robots
We're going almost exclusively for the middle hoop. We can very easily score in the bottom, but we'd rather not. We actually drew a lot of inspiration from 254's 2011 robot. They had an awesome...
