Re: SBPLI Regional Discussion

My thoughts on the regional:

- this was our first time here and we honestly didn't like it as much as Pittsburgh. Probably because of our lackluster performance. We had a lot of issues that were not preventable in any way. At the end of the first day, we looked pretty good and if we pulled of three wins, we would be in a nice position to be picked. However, our second day, one match we had the driver station computer crash on us. We had to reboot and obviously we were dead in the water the whole game. After that, our last match, a certain team decided to ram us in the neutral zone with something outside their frame perimeter. They got stuck to us and they hit our power button causing us to be dead again for the whole match. They got a yellow card for it, but the damage was already done. We knew teams would see that we didn't move for the last two matches and we were of their pick list. This also caused us to fall in ranking points.

Also, as this is my last year on the drive team and the team, so being disabled for my whole last match, EVER was heartbreaking.

I also would like to note the issue with the field. The lights changed from Thursday to Friday, so all of our vision values were off. We had lots of trouble finding values, especially with no calibration time.

Overall, Tigertronics had a good time at the event, it could have been better for us.

Again, congratulations to all the teams that won and hope you have a great time at worlds.
