<schreiaj> The document we will be talking from.
<GCentola1126> lol
<SuperNerd256> Thanks

<GCentola1126> lots of in-depth strategy

<Baselthe2nd> At a medium+ level, it's very exciting
<GCentola1126> lots of ties. very spectator friendly.
<Baselthe2nd> At a low level.. boring
<Meredith16> GKC wasn't boring at all in Quals. Very few 0 matches - all the robots showed up right out of the box and played well. It was impressive.
<GCentola1126> and the bridges are a great end to the match
Guest 52 has left the chat
<XaulZan11> KC was surprisingly very competitive and deep
<thefro526> KC did look like one of the stronger events
<Baselthe2nd> Bridges are a great end game
<ahill1625> KC was crazy
<GCentola1126> I like allainces that are more evenly balanced. It makes it more interesting than complete blow-outs
Guest 54 is logged into the chat
Guest 50 has left the chat
<GCentola1126> note: you can't balance the C-bridge with 5 seconds left.

<XaulZan11> is there any video of alamo? other than the triple balance match?
<alecmataloni111> Looks like a pogo stick.
Guest 58 is logged into the chat
<GCentola1126> the triple balance was genius
<Guest 25> well - 148s alliance had 2 wide and 1 long
Guest 59 is logged into the chat
Guest 56 has left the chat
<GCentola1126> I thought 148 was about to lose...and then it happened....all of us watching exploded
<phoebepatwell639> So did we

<SuperNerd256> I would be scared to balance with 118
jjmiller is logged into the chat
<SuperNerd256> 118 was very scittish

<aspiece> What was the common wheel choice there?
<ICantSeeIt> The wall on the alliance bridge helped with not falling off
Guest 63 is logged into the chat
<GCentola1126> I noticed after the clock hit 0, pretty much everyone on an unbalnced bridge slid off
<schreiaj> I've heard good things about Colsons on the bridge
jjmiller is on the call
<ahill1625> woot
<jwfoss> colsons stick really well
<lawrence1503> there goes Justin and his colsons again...
<SuperNerd256> YAY 399! One of the best teams at SD
<jwfoss> your just jealous
<aspiece> Hybrid is definitely Key!
Guest 51 has left the chat
<Meredith16> or 34...
<Meredith16>
patpat829 has left the chat
<aspiece> By the ways, a lot of talk about using Hybrid instead of Autonomous.
<GCentola1126> like the crazy autonomous at Kettering?
<stevend223> the passing auto?
<GCentola1126> one robot shot them into another, which fed them into the 3rd
<GCentola1126> yes....that one. It was glorious
<aspiece> Passingduring hybrid was aweomse
<eyahrmat> I'll talk about that when we get to Kettering in the call.
<aspiece> Definitely
Guest 62 has left the chat
<aspiece> Consistency is definitely key!
jtemple has hung up
<Baselthe2nd> That was very cool indeed.

<phoebepatwell639> 16 was awesome, I didn't think it would work but it was one of the most consistent robots I saw
<Meredith16> We are getting faster also
Guest 65 is logged into the chat
<GCentola1126> definitely noticed that.
<XaulZan11> There were enough teams that took a long time to line up or for the camera to lock on that 16's "slow shooter" wasnt an issue
<alecmataloni111> Angled frame
<alecmataloni111> ?
<GCentola1126> and yeah, their ball stealing is genius. And their swerve drive....blows my mind
<ahill1625> plastic sliders in the right shape
<GCentola1126> they own with 16
<GCentola1126> and their robot is also very good!
Guest 15 has left the chat
<Meredith16> 1986 really suffered from ball wear issues...
<GCentola1126> not at all for dumpers

<Baselthe2nd> About the complaint about the Kettering webcast in the Google Doc: all the Kettering matches are up online http://www.youtube.com/FIRSTinMichigan
<SuperNerd256> 7 7 WHO?
<Hallry1676> 7 7 2
<IndySam> 772!
<Guest 67> i hated those stupid bumper rules...
<Hallry1676> pic?
<schreiaj> Doesn't help me when I wanted to watch it live. Relying on people there for text updates is a royal pain.
Guest 35 has left the chat
<XaulZan11> 234 technically has the only legal bumpers as they don't have any breaks between their numbers
<Baselthe2nd> Live updates are nice, but in case anyone is still interested, they're there
<IndySam> very rough event
<ICantSeeIt> Somebody's got an echo...
<Guest 71> The highest score in the Alamo Regional was close to 90
<IndySam> All the Indiana teams made elimination but were in the same bracket
<SuperNerd256> I wanted 3476, 399, and 1538 in an alliance
aspiece has left the chat
<schreiaj> What number was code orange? Just wanna double check?
<jsneer> foss is source of echo
<thefro526> 3476
<SuperNerd256> 1538 missed a shot, but then it bounced back off the backboard and into their hopper! Best FIRST moment ever!
Guest 72 is logged into the chat
<Guest 71> We were practicing and one teams rebound bounced into our shooter and we shot 2 balls in literally a second

<Hallry1676> BALL DEFLECTORS!

<Guest 76> Yeap. Rookie team seeded 1st, picked a 2nd year team, then picked a 3rd year team and won SD.
