2014 Howell District

[czielinski]

Just wanted to create this thread regarding the Howell district competition. There are a few powerhouse teams that will be there (67,469). Any strategies that have been adopted from previous competitions that could be implemented into this competition?

308 Will be offering any programming we can to teams who need it. 100% mobility point capability is our target!

Just a few things I noticed while at the Hub City Regional; last second truss shots can (and will) make the difference in a close match, and it is usually safer to get assists and push the ball into a low goal instead of trying for the high goal. You should also be sure that your alliance partners now the rules very well, we were bitten hard by fouls just last week.

As a driver on a team competing at Howell all auton balls if not scored should be pushed (stuffed) into the low goal if you are not consistently scoring in auton do not put a ball in it hurts your alliance and wastes time. Your human players need to be well trained in how to place the ball into your robot. If you do not score the ball the first time in teleop your best bet is to push it into the low goal. Truss shots at the end can very easily make or break your match. Truss points are guaranteed and should be utilized at every chance.

I didn't have a chance to watch GL or Kettering, but one tactic that I thought was particularly good from the Centerline district was when one team took the ball, trussed it to another team, and that team booked it for the one point goal while the third team ran interference and mucked with the other alliances shooting. The cycles were very quick and were easy 21 points, so they could be racked up pretty quick.

Am I the only one getting a black screen on the Howell stream? The audio is coming through, but the only image is the scrolling text on the top.

[billylo]

Any way to get to it on mobile? Thanks

If you just want the whole-field GoPro stream, it's at http://twitch.tv/firstinmichigan. No scores and poor audio, but you can see the whole field.

@Boe: 2771's stream seems fine, if a little grainy to me.

@billylo: Twitch.tv has an app, so you can watch the stream through that.

[Keno]

The video feed keeps getting bumped, I will see if we can get the cable taped down

if you see it down shoot me a message as webcast@coderedrobotics.com

[jlmcmchl]

...And the GoPro stream is down.

Edit: Back up in less than a minute. Nice.

The matches are being added to youtube right after they are played.

The Twitch Stream is up and running for me via app or computer.
