We, 2771, will be webcasting MSC as well. We will be streaming Thursday, Friday and Saturday all day, starting sometime Thursday morning. We will be doing a dual feed, one of the full field and one field view. The webcast can be found at www.coderedrobotics.com/webcast.

The best way to watch matches in Michigan this season is on the FiM YouTube page. They are shot in HD with a GoPro fisheye and posted within minutes of the end of the match.

Hopefully they will have this set up like they have all season.

And a beautiful thing it is, too! Thanks 2337!

Wow -- the practice matches! Routinely putting up 100+ for both sides, flirting with 200 for "just three robots"! This is going to be some show!!!

Um, can anyone post a video of 67 going up the tower? I just saw the match where they drove up and "spit" for 20 and am incredibly confused as to where that arm came from...I really don't think there's enough space within their robot for an arm of the size it is to have come out of the belly of their robot... (but seriously, )

There's plenty of space. Their arm is very similar to 1114 - they climb the same way.

[FIMAlumni]

I think 217 and 1023's arms work the same way to... although 217 has yet to climb the tower.

Still has not been a match where both alliances were under 100 points absolutely crazy how much quality there is

I was kidding...it's an incredibly designed robot and by far one of the most compact I've seen. The sheer point density in that robot is amazing.

To top that, there was a match at bedford with 326, 910, and 469 vs 3302, 3357 and 33. Both 326 and 910 went for the full court option while 469 did some crazy ground pick up all over the field. we put up a huge shield but we unable to effectively shut the 2 FCS down. though we only lost by 6 points. that alliance had potential to run with 3 FCS.

Sorry. Sarcasm is hard to read

Yes, 67 will be incredibly scary once everything is going 100%.

Who am I kidding, they're scary now.

Lunchtime Friday observation:

Team 3572 has had 6 matches, their alliance scores have been 160,145,122,112,175,181.

They are 1-5; their only win was the 112 score.

Ouch.

I will miss regionals but this makes me excited for an eventual move to districts for some reason.
