Unknowingly to everyone at WCR 1772 went through Dallas before reaching their airport in Canada and apparently TSA removed the optical encoder from their shooter that they had taken with them from the previous regional in their witholding 30 LBS. Since they got the sensor from me at the Palmetto Regional Week 1 they didn't have an extra ones.

So 1772 wasn't running anywhere near 100% at Calgary.

But you're right even though we didn't block at WCR we'll end up blocking at some point during champs just to make sure everyone sees that we can.

The video for 222 seems to go to MSC 2013 Qual #111. Pretty sure they weren't there O.o

Glad to see some familiar Michigan faces in this division. Also glad to see 4334 in the same division again this year.

Yall might just want to re-check out the google docs database on 1114... Link

Floor pickup: 1
5 and 7 disc auto: ?



I think we have some work to do guys...

[JohnFogarty]

I will die if that's one of them who put that.

I'm not sure if I should be freaking out or OK with this.

Well, hey, fun fact, we wrote "TOP" on our drive frame after we welded it, and after grinding down said welds, our frame says "OP" on it in the middle of the V for the climber.

The whole reason 1114 is so good is because they have a 50 point upswing on top of not a typical cycler, but the best one in FIRST at this point. There's been matches where they cycled 6 (+?) times and then did the 50 point endgame quickly.

That said, I expect 1114 to be the first selection, not the first seed. They are fantastic, but I think it's more likely that a multi-discer will land with a good schedule (or at least as good as 1114's)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned 842 yet. They have a fantastic floor pickup and 30 point climber.

They're clearly the dark horse here. I'm rooting for them and all Michigan teams!

842 is certainly quite impressive. At the Arizona Regional, they had a sub-30-second 30-point climp and the capability of doing a pyramid goal dump (though they didn't do it every match). Their shooting was somewhat inconsistent in Arizona but they're working on a significant redesign of the frisbee-manipulating system before Championships.

I can see 842 captaining a 4-seed and picking up 2 killer cyclers and just tear it up.

Like I said, Galileo has the best Hall of Fame teams. 842 really did the kitbase proud this year.

Just to let you guys know, 694 was sorted into the teams by accident. I removed them. It messed with my data a lot.

[Irwin772]

In their elimination matches at GTR West and Waterloo the other alliance was worrying more about trying to slow down 2056 so 1114 ran all over the place and was easily able to get in 6 runs and a dump in some of the matches. including the match we set the current high score in at Waterloo. If they can continue this ability with what would seem to be a lack of defense I've seen in past years at champs then they'll easily be in the top 3.

octocanum doesn't mean low traction...

That is correct. Our shooting performance was completely unacceptable for us at AZ so we fixed our hopper so that it doesn't jam as well as made it very easy to feed and easier to pick up. Also sped up our firing sequence. Looking at 3-4 cycles a match right now with a 45 pt dump as well as with our new 5 disk centerline auto.
