Thanks Bobby,

Spectrum just got into our hotel. We're getting ready for a good night sleep and competition in the morning.

I cannot express my gratitude for all the wonderful teams who are attending Razorback. We have 12 rookies who are all having a great time and inspection is going very well. Thanks for all your understanding of our rookie event mistakes and crowded conditions. FIRST teams never cease to amaze me.

Youre not making them wear the hog hats are you?

I must say, inspection here was, by far, the best inspection I've ever been through in my 4 years of being in the pit for the team. It went so darned smoothly and found no problems (Except apparently impossibly light bumpers...have people really never seen bumpers under 10lbs? )

There were rookie event mistakes? Seemed like a pretty smooth event and it's really throwing a wrench in the teams deal of going to a different out of state regional because we fell in love with the regional day one.

By the way, it's not crowded, it's a "cozy" regional

PS - if you didn't see it today, I posted a large copy of my scouting list outside our pit if you need quick information. (We're under the blue and white marque that says CAPS.)

Texas Torque is on their 4th Regional ! Hopefully they can figure out who will be their best partner to qualify them onto Championships.

1421 would be an interesting choice because of their fast climb/dump.

1939 / 3284 / 16 / 3847 and 3528 all looked to be evenly matched in OPR and scoring capability. The elimination rounds are going to be interesting !

True, but surely that's the last thing 1477 wants to hear at this point. I'm crossing my fingers that 3847 and 1477 get together so I don't have to think too hard about who I'm rooting for. I'll also accept 1912, 1730, 3284 on the winning alliance with 1477, against 3847 in the finals. Basically I'm rooting for my Houston teams to both advance, somehow. Make it happen, dang it!

What's the story of qualifying match 82. Twitter data shows 90 climb points for 1421, 456, and 1939. However, it also shows 63 foul points. How many of the climb points are from climbing, and how many are from being interfered with?

Wellll I didn't see the match, but I know that 1421 is a 30 point climber and 456 and 1939 are both only 10 point climbers. So that would mean that, at a minimum, both 456 and 1939 were fouled, and the other 23 foul points came from other fouls, but 1421 may have been fouled as well. Disregarding fouls, the robots only should have had 50 climbing points, though.

There were 81 disc points scored and 50 legitimate climb points. The score of the match without any penalties would have been 131.

I feel like I've somewhat completely taken over this thread with all the posts I've made!

Here's a link to the video I shot of Mr. Ritter accepting the WFFA.

Also, for any thanks/congratulations about the regional, you can post them to this thread that the Kuh-Nig-Its started.

I believe one of the opposing alliance hit the pyramid when we were all climbing, and they took an interference technical for each of us and we all got credit for 30 point climbs. Luckily, nobody fell.

It was a near thing. 1421 was off-kilter. It was one of two matches where they didn't get all four colored disks in the pyramid. I think they still hit with two. That was one rock solid piece of machinery.

Agreed, amazing engineering work by a very underrated 1421 Team Chaos. I remember watching the webcast of 1421 hitting a climb & dump in their 1st qual match at Bayou. They are a definite elimination pick at champs.

So Bomb Squad has uploaded the first 44 matches of Razorback...any other "hidden" places I can find match video? I'm attempting to critique my driving so I can give our next driver tips.
