No problem!
Yeah, I would love to get all the pictures you have of all the teams instead of trying to search all over the place.

It won't help for people trying to pull pictures, but here's the pdf of the previously posted data/pictures:

That should work...seems to be ok for me. Does not include the few missing updates.

Can someone try this one? I posted it here as well. Maybe this one will stay open and not get shut down.

Um, was looking at the bot pictures... the picture you have for 3999 is wrong. That pic is of 399. 3999 is green... really, really green.

So any big surprises in Archimedes so far? I am stuck not attending for the first time in 10 years, and only watching the webcast.

Great work you guys! keep it up. We unfortunately had a less than stellar day... we missed our first match entirely as someone misplaced our front bumper... we found it and ran out to the field but the crew wouldn't let us on and our alliance lost the match. After that it wasn't much better. We had an air leak in our second match so we lost pressure and couldn't use our multi-tool... we lost by 1 point. Then we just made some bad decisions and wasted time in our 3rd match... we lost by 2 points. Things luckily started to click by our fourth match today, and we squeaked out a win by 2 points, with a co-op balance. It's amazing to me to see how many close matches there've been on our field! Personally, I'd rather get creamed than lose by just a point or 2 anyway, best of luck to everyone tomorrow! we'll try our hardest to show what we've got.

Never mind, wasn't aware 2056 was seeded 2nd

I'm not sure if people understand the gravity of the current situation. In matches 6, 12, and 17 all teams were awarded 1 CP when they should've been awarded 0. The bridge was unbalanced and one robot was touching the carpet in each case. Currently 3481 is ahead of the rest of the field by 1 qualifying point, which should not be the case because they were awarded 1 extra CP in match 17. If it isn't taken care of, this will have massive implications on the rankings and selections.

This is akin to the score to a match being 100-0 and then the match being recorded as a tie.

For those interested, a precedent would be GSR in 2009 when they actually changed the rankings AFTER alliance selections and then completely redid alliance selections after reranking the teams. This is the latest rankings have been changed in a tournament, I believe.

Hmmmm. While it does sound like something should be done about that, there are two issues I see:

1. We need to bring this to someone's attention, someone with the power to correct it
2. We need to prove that it happened

I think the problem is that nobody knows who to talk to, and nobody knows if any concrete evidence (pictures, videos, etc.) exist at the moment. I'm not sure how anyone would go about either of those. Any thoughts?

First, I know who you'd talk to. The head ref and/or the scorers. The problem is, you need the drive team to talk to the head ref. The pre-college members of the drive team. And you'd most likely need it to happen in the match.

You could try finding a GDC member, but that's going to be difficult to find them, difficult to convince them that it happened, and then they get to convince the head ref/scorer to fix the scores.

Second, especially regarding evidence: The head ref will not review evidence per [T13]. You need to raise doubt in his mind that he's been calling this correctly, and possibly get him to contact GDC members present for clarification.
