Let me know if you need any extra hands. We've got some students that wouldn't mind helping out

Same over here! 3337 and 3753 are exited this year!

Also, LSU's STEP program will have their LSU peer mentors offering their help at Bayou Regional this year! Look for us with the BLUE shirts!

Good luck to every team!

The audio on the webcast is in dire need of leveling. The music and game sounds overpowers the announcing, and is extremely loud.

Agreed, someone should mention this to the audio people at the event.

I was impressed with 3753 the BulahBots, they put up a bunch of points with 1649 , 120 points without fouls right out of the gate. Not to mention two great dump and climb robots, 1421 and 2992 scored 50 points with their climb/dump in their 1st matches

Bayou should be interesting !

Any info on the score change in match 25? It's a pretty drastic change. I wasn't able to watch it, so I have no idea what happened. Penalties?

The Blue Alliance's discs were scored as Auton discs instead of teleop. It was just a simple mistake by the scoring table and was corrected quickly.

Sadly 364 lost due to comm issues and not enough penalty points. In our pivotal match to move on to the semi-finals our alliance member 2992 lost comms and couldn't get to the pyramid to climb for 50 points. I did not see any comm issues until that time of the tournament. Many mentors are infuriated because we believe that the issues were caused by an outside source.

Also, many penalties were not counted. We were hit, smashed, and pushed all around the field including while we were in our protected areas. We were once pushed down the field sideways for about 10 seconds. The most penalty points we were awarded was 12 which accounts for 4 penalties if I'm mistaken. There were more penalties than that.

Just my two cents, but I just believe that we should have went on.

Congrats to 1912 for winning FOUR consecutive chairman's at Bayou !

Bayou had some of the most fierce defensive play I've seen this year.
1421 showed that you can beat a great scorer like 118 with a mix of defensive play and a reliable 50 point climb & dump strategy.

I hope bayou gets archived on blue alliance, I would like to watch a couple of those elimination rounds again.

[Wendy Holladay]

Everyone is so gracious to 1912, we are so appreciative.

We have had a lot of help to get where we are, many times I feel we are the extremely lucky recipients of a great region where so many work together to make FIRST happen. If I started naming names, I would never finish.

Thank you seems so small, but thank you.

But we have lost a lot this year. Our region is "Remembering Kimmy". We lost Kimmy Melton this year, a wonderful high school senior from Team 456. Please keep the Melton and 456 family in your hearts.

Thank you, Wendy and Team 1912!

No rule against that, it's called defense. If you were able to be pushed down the field, then by definition you weren't pinned - you could have driven backwards away from them and gone another direction.

Does anyone have any footage of Finals Match 2? I remember 1421 being aggressively bashed around by all 3 members of the opposing alliance inside its own pyramid and only being awarded 15 foul points (IIRC just touching the opposing alliance while they're touching their own pyramid is grounds for 30 foul points) bringing the final score 118-120, and had they been awarded more foul points they would have won the competition in a surprising upset (I mean, they would have beaten 118, a severe beast of a robot who dominated Lone Star).

[MysterE]

They can be hit inside their pyramid as much as anyone wants to as long as they do not make contact with the pyramid.

My dad video'd every match that 3753 played except for Finals-3 (my mom apparently knocked over the camera -.-)
Once he's processed them, I'll be sure to upload them to our website (bulahbots.com)

CONGRATS to 1912!!! Y'all are awesome, and even two years after y'all helped us off our feet, we still talk highly about y'all almost every day. Can't wait to meet up with y'all again in St. Louis!
