Stream should be at http://www.oregonfirst.org/go/streaming-video/

We're excited to be competing in Portland again after our visit to Texas last year; but it'll be weird missing Seattle

We've got some tweaking to get done on Thursday, but we're excited to put our robot through its paces.

Ok, Thanks Madison.

We've got quite a bit of work to do on Thursday as well... we usually can pull it off by Saturday morning though, as is our teams tradition

[Bob Steele]

Its strange for us not competing in Portland too... We will miss all of you guys!!

Some of us are coming down to watch though...and cheer you guys on!!
Have a great tournament...!!!

maybe we will see some of you in Ellensburg.. (or Seattle or Spokane..)

Thought I'd give this thread a bump since load in is only a "few" hours away...

here are some videos of 2471 and 488's robots (i hope they don't mind my posting them here).

I'd like to see a bear metal video, the blog certainly isn't explicit enough, nor are the pictures telling a full story.

Can't wait to spectate on Saturday. I'll be wearing my Mean machine shirt

Does anyone know if the matches will be archived? I would love to be there, but I'm about 2000 miles away and in the middle of finals.

Yeah, most will be on Youtube within a week. Also check http://www.thebluealliance.com/

Wishin' I was there too. Matches aren't nearly exciting this year as the past few years....

I didn't see Q-39 - why does it need to be replayed?

[engunneer]

Match Q67, 360 appeared to be touching 488 at the end of the match when 488 was hanging. It appears this caused 488 to be touching the floor. I wonder why no foul was called?

[Kpchem]

Based on what I saw, 360 rolled into 488 after the match had ended and did not do so under their own power, but rather because of momentum. I believe that 488 was credited with their 10 point hang even if they were touching the ground. That's the only rationale I come see for why the penalty wasn't assessed. To be honest, I was surprised myself, although not necessarily unhappy about it...

If anyone is interested in seeing it, we've posted our 2013 Chairman's video:

Even though we were a disappointed with our robot performance, winning Chairman's made all of our efforts worth it. It truly is an honor to win such a prestigious award. We hope that by sharing our video, it will inspire others to continue to work hard to spread the ideals of FIRST as we've come to love them.

We wondered this, too.

The explanation we received was that the contact happened after the match had ended and that fouls can only occur during a match. Despite the contact, we were still not touching the ground. Roxie called NH and they upheld her decision. I don't agree with the call, but it is what it is.

Given the explanation we received and that scoring is not tabulated until 5 seconds after a match has ended should objects remain in motion, it is conceivable that a robot could coast into a robot that has hung / coast into the pyramid and knock down robots and create a circumstance wherein no fouls are assessed and the hanging points are not awarded.

Those had to be some of the greatest finals I have seen in Oregon in a while. All the more reason we love Portland. Congratulations to 955,2471 and 2046 on a well deserved win.
