K. So I wasn't watching then. Nevertheless, the webcast is down when there's still awards to be awarded.

987 was dead for part of the last final match

Was it the NASA channel? Reason being that it stopped at 7pm probably because it was scheduled to end before 7 so nasa reserved a slot until then.

I sat there during Gali's alliance selections going.
25, 180, & 16
THAT'S IT!
THAT'S MY FAVORITE ALLIANCE.
They went all they way too!

I think FIRST will lose the respect of an awful lot of people if they don't do something to answer to the obvious problems on their highest stage.

I was at Einstein and we may have found a reason for the comm problems once a bot hit the red alliance driver station red lost comm.

Loose ethernet?

What are the chances FIRST will refrain from tearing down the Einstein field until such time as they can run a few simulated matches on it? I'd say there's no time like the present to do some failure analysis, and I suspect there's no shortage of teams that would volunteer their robots for the task.

Once the field is gone, the evidence is gone (or at best, tainted), and it will be that much harder to convince people of the root cause.

(Of course, my congratulations to the winners and all of the runners-up.)

Congrats to 25 on joining the two-time champions club. Congrats to 180 and 16 for finally getting a championship victory.

It is infuriating that all of the communications issues throughout eliminations ruined everything and overshadows their well-deserved victory. I thought going through divisional finals 987, 233, and 207 played the best out of anyone
