2014 Waterloo Regional

[Bongle]

I'm thinking the #6, #7 or #8 alliance could have a really good combination. They'll have enough robots available to get specialists at each position (inbound, truss, goal), and might be able to disrupt the strong alliances they'll be facing early, since those robots will have a much weaker #3.

4039's drive coach is a 2056 alumni and was operator in 2011. I'm really excited to see how Makeshift does tomorrow.

Get'cha popcorn ready...

With 4039 playing quick turn matches in Q59 and Q61, and then 2056 against 1114 in Q64 -- well, this is going to be a fun morning in Waterloo. Wish I was there.

Hope the webcast is working well -- it was great yesterday.

[Arefin Bari]

Have they started yet?

The webcast isn't working...

[Racer26]

Webcast is working OK for me for the last half hour or so. (EDIT: But the FMS is still not posting results to the web in real-time. FRCSpy/Twitter seem to be working)

They're just about to replay Q59 for a cycle end issue. Of the 5 replays @ Waterloo, 4039 has been in 4 of them.

[Richard Wallace]

Echos ... echos .... echos.

And no FMS updates today. Nothing on FIRST site, nothing on Spyder.

And the webcast is down again, drat.

[Jared Russell]

Congrats to 4039, #1 seed at the 2014 Waterloo Regional.

Cast has been flawless for me all morning, but this whole FMS not uploading thing is getting old.

Nothing on FIRST site ==> nothing on Spyder. It's unfortunate that we have to rely on an unreliable data source. Every time we get an email from a user about Spyder not working, it ends up that FIRST isn't publishing properly for that event.

Ditto on all three fronts.

Hopefully someone posts the rankings (I think 254 are now second seed as it stands, 2056 3rd?)

Some great triple assists and clinical HG from 4039 today. Alliance selections will be fascinating.

Yes, but that doesn't show the rankings, which is the biggest part the people at home want to see.

Match results are available on twitter, too.

1114 vs 2056 now! predict 2056 wins.

[Richard Wallace]

Wow.

[PriyankP]

1114 lacks very little on their drive team already, and their HP takes them to a new level!

[mwmac]

Well 1114 schooled 2056 in that match. looking for a similar matchup in elims if 4039 gets either with first pick.
