Comments of Rally in the Valley

Rally in the Valley was a very interesting competition. All the teams played really well, and was a really competitive event.

There was some controversy at Rally, but I don't want to really want to get into it. But only to say that it was the first time we were ever ordered to take a section of our robot off in the last match in the finals. That section was our wedge.

Congratulations to all who participated in it, and for team 95 for hosting the event.

Yes I would have to say it was a good day for all today, but on behalf of not only my team, 151, but also 166 and 501, we stillare really sorry about the whole issue in the finals, we had no intent of you having to remove your wedge, or any other part of your robot for that matter, but it was still a couple of great matches, and congratulations on the win.

-Alex, 151

Thanks for starting this thread, I'll be interested to see what people have to say. Feedback is great, don't worry about hurting our feelings .

I missed the finals, so anyone who was there want to fill me in?

I would like to thank the teams that subbed in for the no shows, it made our lives much easier. Thats GP, playing a round for no points just for the fun of it and to help everyone out. 501, 238, 190 and both 88's come to mind, but I'm sure i am forgetting some one. THANK YOU!

Also, thanks to all the teams, the turn around time between match's for some teams was next to nothing, but everyone kept up and we finished qualification rounds about an hour early. Hows that for noteworthy?


Again, comments on anything are welcome.

-Andy A.

Thumbs up

Rally was a great time for us! We loved the best out of three in the finals instead of collective score. We learned a lot from your invitational, Thank you for letting our students shadow you in the electronics department and please say Thank You again to Mrs. Currier for passing her invitational manual on to our team. It will be very handy for us when we host our invitational October 11.
BTW- my team loved the breakfast table you had set out it was a great idea, and our team visited it often!
Your concession stand was awesome! So affordable!
We had a great time with all of the teams that attended, and we hope you all can make it to our invitational.
Thanks for allowing us to sub a round which gave our underclassmen a chance to drive.

Great job!

Thank you 95 for putting on a GREAT Event! (And yes, Andy Grady did a great job as well!)

Also, thanks to 121 for picking us as an alliance partner and even flipping us back up. Way to be Gracious Professionals.

95, one of the best parts of your event was your time keeping pit announcer.

Ok this is from memory,

#1 seed 151
#2 seed 121
#3 seed 131
#4 seed 885

First alliance:
151, 166, 501

Second alliance
121, 131, 134

Third Alliance
885, 190, 88 (The real one)

Forth Alliance
238, 213, 88 (The 2001 version)

First semifinals
was
151, 166, 501 (Red) vs. 238, 213, 88 (The 2001 version) (Blue)

151 won the first one by a big margin
than in the second round it seemed like 238 came back, but 151 managed to slip by with 1 bin.

Second Semifinals
was
121, 131, 134 (Red) vs. 885, 190, 88 (The real one) (Blue)
121 alliance won both

In the finals it was
151, 166, 501 (Red) vs. 121, 131, 134 (Blue)

The 121 alliance won both times

Maybe Andy G. can recall more info than me.

Great Finals...

Hi All,

Kyle, you got everything right on the dot without the need of my help! I will add that the elimination tornement was 2 out of 3 which made the finals much more exciting than the elimination point system. FIRST definately should go back to that format next year. Also, big time credit to team 95, who had their robot take a sit in the elimination rounds just so the teams who traveled could all play. I really can't say enough about how awsome those guys were and how well they dealt with some of the issues that popped up in the day. This is why Ralley was and will continue to be a success.

Great Job to All,
Andy Grady

MY COMPLAINTS

ok everybody, i've been quiet too long. Im gonna try to be as nice as possible.

I understand some things that went wrong could not be unavoided. Things like missing cables, scoring system mess ups, etc. It happens and is understandable.

What is NOT understandable is how uneducated the refs were. A few never even saw a first event, and it showed.

The whole finals drama that occured should not have happened. The wedge has been there since the first day at BAE. New England teams should now this by now. The wedge is there to take away a pushing surface. It is also there to remove teams from the HDPE. If a team can make a device to latch on to the top, we can have something to take them off (thanks Andy).

Now after I flipped over Choas then DE-flipped them should have shown everyone it was not my intention to flip teams over. Only 2 other teams ended up on their backs because of us. Team 95 flipped onto 88 right after autonomous because of us but the wedge wasnt even down. 501 also went over, but we were trying to get onto the top of the ramp and they were in the way...sorry guys.

But what really got me mad was the fact that we had to change our robot design before the last match. According to the head ref our wedge design was not "Graciously Professional". Whatever that means. A couple teams complain and now we need to spend half an hour putting lexan where that wedge was.

BUT WHAT REALLY GOT ME ANGRY was some guy from 88. He was an adult who had the nerve to come to me and my drive team and start yelling at us. Now you can say this post isnt gracious, but what that guy did was uncalled for. He said we were purposefully damaging other teams when all we were doing was playing the game.

So even without a wedge we won the whole thing. So just to spite some of you jealous poeple we're adding another wegde on our "piece of blank" (according to what that guy said. Think before you talk next time guy)

Thats my gripes with Ralley and Im sorry to say because of this bad experince we wont be coming to ralley ever again.

Go ahead and shut this post down brandon i got my 2 cents in.

I was not at the event, but my observation is this thread started out really positive. Why don't people try to focus on the positive parts of the event. Every event has its bad side, but for the most part, I bet the majority of people really enjoyed this one.
