100's super stoked to be going! I'm glad we've signed up for the first time in the team's history, it looks like there's a great crew of teams going (plus Aren Hill!). Maybe we can just start calling it NorCal Champs...

RC, wouldn't 973 be 3 bots, 1 comp and 2 offseason?

Haha, we are very very fortunate we get amazing/top notch teams to come out to our event!

973 is just two offseason robots, no comp bot for this event.

We decided not to compete with 973 so that we can field an entire scouting team.

Although, he might make an appearance to replay the disputed powerhouse pwnage finals.

Disputed?

It's too bad that we won't see much of Hurricane, it was really the gold standard for linear fed shooters. Of course, those two tiny offseason bots were on fire for PP, so I'm excited to see them play (and maybe play with them) again.

If you rewatch final match 2 and count all the points scored, it seems pretty likely that blue actually won it.

There were a lot of "rejected" disks on the Blue goal during that match. That might have made it confusing for the scorers to keep track.
Watching the video closely reveals....... you may have a point there.

This is where having the full blow field scoring system, with all it's idiosyncrasies, may have actually helped prevent this "dispute".

Ah hindsight! I guess it's a good thing instant replay shouldn't be used. We would have field reset times in the 10's of minutes every time someone disagreed with the outcome of a match.

I don't think anybody is really upset about it, it'd just be fun to replay at Madtown as all 6 teams will be there.

Can we make it happen RC? Last match of the day Saturday?

We def aren't upset, but like Adam, it would be fun to replay it!

Let's make it happen.

We'll schedule it to be the last match of Saturday, at worst it'll be a 2v2.

Why 2v2? Looks like all 6 teams are registered.

At worst it'll be a 2v2 if the other teams can't/don't wanna play. Otherwise it'll be a 3v3.

What I meant was either way we'll play the match, sorry for the confusion.
