<IndySam> I'm not a big fan
<GCentola1126> agreed. They make the rankings screwy, but its a fun aspect of the game itself
<Guest 9> 2 points is way too much
nahstobor is logged into the chat
Guest 18 is logged into the chat
<GCentola1126> it acts as a anchor for lower tier teams
<IndySam> we always do that anyway
<GCentola1126> "oh, we are gonna lose? lets balance the C-Bridge"
<JacobP79> yes
<GCentola1126> yes.

<GCentola1126> absolutely. I was wondering the other day, what will einstein look like? Each team scores 6/6 in Hybrid and then triple balances?
Guest 22 is logged into the chat
nahstobor has left the chat
<schreiaj> Einstein's champion will score more than 6
<schreiaj> (this is dustin btw)
<GCentola1126> fair point.
nahstobor is logged into the chat
<MarcS> They need to pause the game in between hybrid and teleop.
patpat829 is logged into the chat
<schreiaj> Marc, good point
nahstobor has left the chat
<Hallry1676> could they do that? when was the last time they did, 2008?
<schreiaj> it's been done a bunch
<schreiaj> it's not a big deal
<GCentola1126> yes
<JacobP79> Basically every year before 09 they paused the game

<GCentola1126> it doesnt seem practical.
ahill1625 has left the chat
<GCentola1126> the balls need to be on the field to score.
Guest 4 has left the chat
<GCentola1126> You could keep the 2 balls safe on the alliance bridge, but we ended up tipping them to get the balls.

<schreiaj> wierd score
<schreiaj> in elims
<Hallry1676> are there any pics of 217?
<schreiaj> Don't know of any public
<Hallry1676> okay
<jwfoss> wpi didn't look that much better than week 1 either
<george1884> at wpi the quality of shooters was pretty low/inconsistent
<patpat829> Is there 217 shooter? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150557724451441
<patpat829> this*
<Hallry1676> yep =)
<jwfoss> fling-a-pult?
<jwfoss> interesting
<patpat829> If thats there shooter. Then it's very consistent and an amazing shooter. I know we are using that.
<IndySam> that's 3940 292 and our shooter!
<JacobP79> Where are the mar standings?
<Hallry1676> they havent released the updated week 2 standings, but week 1 standings are here: http://www.midatlanticrobotics.com/m...vent-rankings/

<GCentola1126> we were no powerhouse this year.
<Hallry1676> is there going to be a google doc for week 2 review/week 3 preview like there was last cast?
<GCentola1126> we are, however, darn proud of how far we came
<Stogi> Dustin talk about 4342
<Stogi> they were amazing
<Stogi> no
<GCentola1126> but they also scored more reliably than shooters
<Stogi> 4342
<JacobP79> do they dump 2s or 1s
<GCentola1126> 2s
<Stogi> Finalists with 222 at Chestnut Hill
<Stogi> very very strong alliance
<schreiaj> thanks akash
<schreiaj> totally added
Guest 29 has left the chat
<schreiaj> (this is Dustin)
<GCentola1126> we went from not moving, to doing well
<GCentola1126> 639 won EI and gets to go to st louis
<JacobP79> what do you want to know?
<GCentola1126> 340 won yet another CA
<JacobP79> about orlando
<schreiaj> any tips?
<JacobP79> 179 wasnt that good
<Hallry1676> what happened to 25?
<JacobP79> 744, 180 and 1592 were the best 3 teams
<JacobP79> they had software problems all weekend
<Hallry1676> ah, okay
Guest 30 is logged into the chat
<JacobP79> i believe 3 of the 8 elim alliances used the a-bomb
Guest 31 is logged into the chat
<JacobP79> they both have really good shooting systems, brakes on their drivetrains, and good autos
<Hallry1676> any public pictures of pink yet?
<JacobP79> they were 6-3-1 and the number 2 seed
Guest 28 has left the chat
rsisk101 is logged into the chat
<Hallry1676> At Rutgers were got 13
<george1884> WPI got 12 too
<rsisk101> heck yeah
<george1884> *and there were several 3 match turnarounds
<rsisk101> I will be at CMP
<Guest 9> The field reset was really fast at WPI
<Guest 30> they discuss MI Districts yet?
<jwfoss> 3205 was rocking it at WPI
<Guest 9> 3205 were solid
<jwfoss> 228 got their stuff together and looked solid during elims
<george1884> 228 became the best robot at WPI
<george1884> 148 uses 228's foot
<jwfoss> seems more stable than 148...
<jwfoss> colsons vs. pnuematics
<george1884> woot!
<jwfoss> they looked good
<george1884> 9th seed
<Guest 9> 9-3
<george1884> and we were picked first by 228
<schreiaj> congrats
<jwfoss> they were super close
<george1884> that's our goal (+london regional)
<Guest 9> Next year
rtfgnow has left the chat
<george1884> yup
rtfgnow has hung up
<IndySam> Pit was rough
<jwfoss> bobcats out in the 1/4s at WPI, bad luck and some tuning issues, they should be really solid at CT
<GCentola1126> out of curiosity, with records like 9-3, were 10+ matches per team common this year? Usually, we have had around 9-10 but we had 12 at FLR this year
<IndySam> not deep at all, 48 was good though.
Guest 32 is logged into the chat
<Guest 30> ah ...
Guest 33 is logged into the chat
<Guest 30> 1114/2056 didn't manage to balance at the end of that match
<Guest 30> gotta hang some balance out in elims!
Guest 32 has left the chat
<george1884> what was their incentive? to help another team (not playing)?
<george1884> clearly not helping, the bridge was balanced
<Hallry1676> is there video of it?
<george1884> it is only strategic if you have an 'unofficial' alliance to help another team get above in the rankings
<george1884> even then it's pretty despicable
<JacobP79> ya, Hallry, its in the thread
<Stogi> For anyone who didnt see it

Interesting, I'll keep an eye on it. It should have come up by now but maybe they're having issues on their end.

[Drivencrazy]

How do the files usually get to iTunes? Do you guys record them yourselves and post them or do you use the TalkShoe file? Or something else?

[LondonBoy29]

Thank you for the shout out to Team 1884! It has really been our best year ever, and it is nice to get some recognition. I love listening to the podcasts and I look forward to hearing it again after week 6, or if we are lucky maybe sooner.

iTunes actually takes an RSS feed. You have to host the files yourself and provide that feed to iTunes. Ours is located at itpc://recordings.talkshoe.com/rss98466.xml

[thefro526]

After a brief Hiatus (Many of us were too busy running around robot-ing) EWCPcast will be back tonight at 9pm EST. We're planning on recapping some of the big things that happened this season and talking about both the MAR and FiM Championship Events. We hope you can join us.

As usual, the Cast will be live at: http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web...d=98466&cmd=tc

Also, we're trying to keep track of who will be on the call tonight since there have been a few interested parties. If you plan on/would like to call in, please shoot myself or Andrew a PM or Post up to the EWCPcast FB page.
