2013 Central Valley Regional

[stens987]

So what happened at Central Valley? I was waiting forever for FIRST to update the results, and now that they have it shows that alliance 6 won?!?! I thought they were out in the semis...

The results on the FIRST website are incorrect. The webcast went down, but from what I understand, semi 2-1 went to blue because of a DQ, then Semi 2-2 went to red because of a technical foul. Semi 2-3 was won by blue, who advanced to finals and won. Anyone who has more detailed information feel free to add on/correct me.

Way to go to our good friends on 1323 for another Chairman's banner!

Oh, ok. I was going off of Spyder and FRC Tracker because the FIRST site has incomplete data. The two apps showed alliance 2 advancing to finals. Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

Does anyone know if there are match archives, and where they'll be posted?

Most of it is apparently archived under the TBA Twitch stream (like so: http://www.twitch.tv/tbacast/b/373432473), although it's not split up into matches and at least the last match is missing....

Congrats to 1678 and their alliance for the CVR victory! I really loved 1678's auto, there must have been some really good code behind it. I can't wait to check out their bot at Davis.

Also, major props to 1323 for winning chairman's! RC and his whole team is a class act. They gave us our WCP DSs before they even got theirs, which just goes to show the type of professionalism that I connect with 1323. Too bad their robot looked like it was having com issues, I bet it would have been a real force on the field if it was playing as strong as it could have.

1678 would like to thank everyone at the Central Valley Regional for making it a class event. The pits were well-managed, the practice field was conveniently located and allowed multiple teams to practice at once, and there was a general laid-back atmosphere that made it a fun event to compete in.

A huge thank you to our alliance partners, Teams 840 and 295, in helping us achieve the regional win. 840's cross-court shot was pure poetry and 295 provided the aggressive defense we needed to help get 840 to their spot.

The competition was intense and I really thought that there were many teams capable of winning this event. 3970's shooting was scary and they had a very zippy drivetrain. 973 had a beautifully designed hopper/shooter system that shot very consistently. 1323, 1967, 670, 1671, 701 all looked to be offensive threats. There are probably others that I have left out but those teams just come to mind.

Congratulations to 1323, for winning the chairman's award. You guys are a class act and, along with your amazing mentor, RC, you were gracious to our team and helped us whenever we needed anything. See you guys in St. Louis.

I recorded all the matches except a couple of quals and will be submitting them to tba very soon. I'll see how else to get them out either via our website or other ways.

Alliance 6 won match 1 of the semis due to a DQ, lost match 2, and won match 3. Alliance 6 then proceeded to win the finals in 3 matches
