In a total of 4 hours of attendance, we got about 50 seconds of driving time and two matches observed. Our time there was mostly waiting. At the current rate of matches, we would have been waiting almost two hours for another two uncertain minutes. So, we left at 1:45pm and went back to school and practiced non-stop until 6:00 PM.
Nothing against the organizers of the event, it just made more sense for us to get the most time we could on our machine.
So, does anyone have a synopsis of the rest of the matches?

Actually, yeah. We played until everyone played at least 3 games and then
had the top 4 teams choose 2 more for 4 alliances. We had a playoff and it ended in 294, 1682 and another team winning (our cable for our arm died out the final match) It was funny, when the match first started, our autonomous was very messed up so we went straight ahead and moved our arm up, which pulled the big center goal off the carpet and knocked it over. It was awesome.
