And now the standings are back...but with 1 CP each. Still wrong.

That's week 1 for you!

Match 25: if you can't shoot, for god's sake, go for the bridges! (Especially the middle one.)

[tim-tim]

did anyone else lose audio on the webcast?

231, 118, 3481 on red vs 2583, 3417, and 2789 on blue (one of the three was missing, I didn't see which)

Red balanced their bridge with 2. Coopertition was balanced with 2. Blue alliance bridge was balanced with the last robot. All robots on the field were balanced, too cool.

(Red put 4 balls in autonomous too, also impressive)

Thanks, Chris. I bet the fans in the stands went nuts.

Wow.

In this case, it looks like the Twitter feed has got it right (2 CP); the FMS feed still doesn't (blue didn't get any CP/red got 2 each).

Blue isnt supposed to have any. They made an announcement that the entire blue alliance got DQd for the match because one of their robots hadn't passed inspection and that human player was still playing -> pretty rough on the blue alliance imo, but I guess those are the rules

I didn't hear the announcement. (The non-inspected robot DQ affects the whole alliance, even in qualifying rounds, so that much is right.)

Regardless, disqualified teams are supposed to keep their CP, but forfeit the QP bonus (equal to the number of CP earned) along with the rest of their QP for that match. This impacts the rankings for the Co-Opertition Award.

Some of these matches are just depressing...
I understand that its the first week of competition but still.

[PayneTrain]

Apparently they will let some shoddy bumpers through... at least at Alamo. I wish I didn't have to bring it up, but considering how critical we all have been over each other team's bumpers, it annoys me bumpers that break multiple rules are allowed to compete.

[Scott England]

is the Alamo webcast down for anyone else? Or rather I should ask, does anyone have a working link? I managed to catch the last few but it seems like the feed died around 5:30ish local time with ~10 matches left in the day.

[mwmac]

it is down. recorded matches keep loading
