Re: Look Back: Week 2
If Finger Lakes had worse field issues than Oregon, then they must have had a really hard time running, Oregon took 40+ minutes to start Qualifying 1, Match 24 was played 4 times, and QF2-1, 3-1, and 4-1 all had replays due to field issues.
I think LF doesn't get alot of information about Northwest regionals, so there isn't much for him? to say.
Portland had some great competition, and was alot of fun to watch.
My highlights:
1983's Skunkswerve was even more impressive in person than their videos showed.
955's revolving ball chamber looked amazing, and had a very clever Geneva mechanism to keep it aligned. Too bad it seemed to have some minor ball jamming.
488's hopper is HUGE, and it's impossible to keep track of how many rocks they possess - until they hit you with them all.
2951's small pusher was FAST. Expect more from this team in the coming years.
A few teams scored in autonomous with the robot, among them, 192, 2046, and 1318.
Things certainly got more exciting in the Elimination matches. 2915, 488 and 2471 were at a big disadvantage bringing a double G14 penalty into SF1-1, ultimately helping Alliance #1 into the finals. The first finals match was a nailbiter right up to the last 30 seconds, and in the end 1318, 1983 and 2635 took home the gold. 1571, 2898 and 2046 were quite an alliance, and I look forward to seeing 2898 and 2046 in Seattle. Everyone in Oregon did a great job.
