Michigan State Championship

Someone should check the driver station logs for QF 1. It looked like teleop was started early, messing up 1718's and 67's auto. There might be some other reason why they both missed the same way, though.

EDIT: Never mind, looks like they are calling a replay due to a field fault.

Same thing happened. :/

Anybody care to explain whats going on with 67 & 1718 auton? It seems weird that those two teams who have the strongest autonomous in this competition IMO would start having problems as soon as they get into elimination rounds. If someone has any info please share

[IndySam]

Wow another replay.

[BLUEBELL]

Is this only happening to those two teams?

[qzrrbz]

played 4 matches, happened twice (to those two teams yes...)

[cbale2000]

Wow, what a pair of finals matches!

Great job 27, 33, and 314!

Once again the FiM/PBS MSC broadcast did not disappoint. I can't believe you guys haven't gotten at least NBC Sports to show your coverage. Dave's encyclopedic knowledge of FRC teams is impressive, even when he guesses he's right (74 did win a regional Chairman's Award). You guys really do strike the perfect balance of showing the competition and selling the program.

I was doing my taxes, so I missed out on the autonomous issue early in the regional. Since this has happened before, hopefully HQ fix it before the Championship.

Watching the winning alliance play was a real treat. 27 was definitely MVP of the final rounds, no one could get by!! I heard several people lament that 33 didn't have "real wheels" early in the season, but they definitely showed off their omnis today, breaking t-bones like the defense wasn't even there. 314 rounded out a stellar group, handing off the ball like nobody's business.

Do the right people know about the issue? Reporting the issue is the first step to solving the problem. Pedestal lighting and hot goal timing was a known issue at week 0 events, but somebody told me FIRST didn't know it was an issue until a few weeks later (although they still haven't fix it ).

They said in the broadcast that FIRST HQ was helping to diagnose the problem remotely.

I was next to the scores table and HQ was in full contact the whole time. I would assume they were closely watching all 4 district championships today.

Shoutout to 33, 503, and 68 for winning the Chairmans Awards!

and 469 for their amazing 1060 Assist points!

[SilentStryk09]

All Hail Team 10!

Seriously, this needs to become a thing. And somebody needs to start team 10 in the detroit area if it's not a held number, and needs to get FSD as a sponsor.

It was just explained on the broadcast. To iterate, for some reason ~1.5 seconds into autonomous mode, the FMS switches from autonomous mode to teleop mode for a split second. After a few milliseconds, the field switches back to autonomous, however the drive encoders on both 1718 and 67 reset themselves, so they drive forwards farther than usual. This makes them miss their shots because they are too far forwards now.

I'll try to find another post about this, I recall 254 having the same issue.
