Re: Einstein 2012
I'm completely livid.
FIRST should in no way allow this to stand. They should have moved to Galileo field after the first replay. 12 teams come through their respective divisional eliminations without a single comms issue, and come to Einstein, only to have 7 of the 8 matches have at least one robot sit dead for a non-trivial length of time? Its absolutely unacceptable. Woodie and Dean were obviously quite upset about it, judging by their faces on the webcast. The only acceptable way to right this wrong now, that I can think of, is to crown ALL TWELVE teams 2012 Champions. |

Re: Einstein 2012
987 was dead the last 20 seconds or so if they were running they may have been able to score 2 or 3 baskets to take a close victory.

Re: Einstein 2012
Quoted for truth. It's so incredibly sad. These teams put in thousands of man-hours and dedicate an entire season to achieving near robot perfection. And how are they rewarded? With field connection issue. What an embarrassment of a finale that Einstein was, the FIRST community is going to have a lot to say on this one. Why spend the time to compete in this competition if field issues are going to be the downfall of us at one point or another? I know we are in this for more than the robots, but it's incredibly frustrating when the even playing field we are all supposed to be playing on is anything but because of technical issues on FIRST's side.

Re: Einstein 2012
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! |

Re: Einstein 2012
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.

Re: Einstein 2012
Two teams, one from red and one from blue, lost comm during the last match. I couldn't see the numbers from my seat, only the comm lights.

Re: Einstein 2012
I second Vince. If anyone at the event is reading this thread, could they update us with the EI winner?
Also, the only thing more appropriate than the webcast dying after Galileo wins it all in F2 would be if it died after Curie sends it to a rubber match in F2. |

Re: Einstein 2012
I believe 1629 won it again. It was announced after Chairman's, wasn't it?

Re: Einstein 2012
Does anyone know the firmware on the different robots radios. At GTR West everyone with firmware 1.4 was downgraded to 1.2.1 because of massive connection issues during practice matches.

Re: Einstein 2012
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.

Re: Einstein 2012
It's ironic that the pre-match speeches was about how this is as good as any sporting event, one of the best competitions in the world, and the finals are jeopardized by communications issues. Especially when it's promoting technology.
