I spent Friday afternoon & today at VCU. My team wasn't there, but I couldn't wait until next weekend to see how this all plays out!
My thoughts....
Most notable game comment: STACKS don't matter!
Most surprizing: Less than half of the teams have an effective autonomous program
Most notable venue comment: They always SAID it -- but this year they MEAN it......safety glasses in pits!! =)
Favorite robot: 234???.....team with swinging boom that knocked over whole wall in autonomous mode without moving!
Most entertaining to watch: Dancing Robodog Bulldog(435) and wild robots practicing line tracking in the corner
Notable omission: maybe I missed it.....but I didn't hear that knee-slapping song - "(something)-eye-Joe"??....lol
Most spirited teams: Hawaii Five-10 (510), Robodogs(435), Spiderweb team(???), and Sparky(384)
Favorite uniform: Cougertrons(?) red jumpsuits
Best match: #105....Blue humans made a stack of 8!....and it stood a long time...but eventually was knocked down. Score 60/160
All and all -an exciting regional and a GREAT bunch of people. =)
With one notable exception....=(
Adults(from a team that will remain nameless) saved 2 rows of prime seating during the elimination rounds. When local spectators and random teamless people tried to sit - they were told that "these seats are for our team".....and the team didn't sit until the closing ceremony! Soooo unFIRSTlike. *sigh*
Just my opinions.....share yours!
