Bad connection cost 1114, 2056, and 4334 a birth into the world championshipn finals, Can't believe it.

If they admit it is a field problem, we could just have no winner..

(If it is a field problem.)

The stress on Woodie is very evident.

Well, 118 already put on a great show; they were absolutely incredible to watch in the Newton elims. The fact that they go from running perfectly on newton (not to mention 1114 and 2056 also running perfectly on archimedes) to not moving 3 matches in a row just makes this whole thing that much worse.

Such a shame, was looking forward to some awesome matches. I wonder how FIRST will respond to this now that the problem has moved from regionals and districts to their biggest stage.

Let's see which one is more powerful: the Curie curse or the "Red Comms" curse.

Same with Dean.

I'm wondering if there are saved logs available from newton and archimedes that could be compared to logs from einstein.....

[Gray Adams]

This is incredibly disappointing. It doesn't matter who wears blue, nobody wins.

Can any of the Newton/Archimedes finalists and post the logs from their Driver Stations after today? Those could prove to be very useful. I'm not sure what kind of logging capabilities the FMS has, so don't know what to do there....

With all of these comm issues, the only way I can see Galileo winning is if this tornado sweeps through and picks up the blue alliance.

[Chris86]

While the comms situation is very annoying and frustrating, please be considerate when judging possible outcomes. All of the divisional winners are great competitors and any of them could have won.

[Robby Unruh]

All red bots are working! Hoo-rah!

edit: but it looked like Pink died for about 20 seconds... did the bug swap stations or what?

[Marc S.]

To add to the drama a tornado warning has been issued and at least in th nosebleeder section, we are not allowed to leave the arena.

[Kevin Sevcik]

Curie curse wins. Pink is stationary for no discernable reason.

[Mk.32]

233 just died.. [don't know about any others] so isn't just a red problem but came back. What the hell is wrong with this field........
