Wow another replay.

[BLUEBELL]

Is this only happening to those two teams?

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.

EDIT: Here's the post:

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.

[Adam Freeman]

Congratulation to 27, 33, and 314. WOW, what a shutdown alliance!

Never have we been so completely defended. Our alliance seem to be paralzed trying to run our offense. 27 was the MVP, but 314 was the unsung hero... to get that machine at that pick is ricidulous. We were just hoping they would continue to go overlooked until the 24th pick. The defense kept us so occupied 33 was able to do what they do best...score! (and mix in some D)

Congrats to the Chairman's Award Winners 33, 68, and 503.

Thank you to 1718 for selecting us and 74 for playing a huge part of our alliance. It was a tough fight to get to the finals, I wish we (67) could have done more to get us to all the way to the top.

Finally, a HUGE congratulations to Lori Gleason for winning the WWFA! The HOT Team would not be what it is without Lori's incredible passion and dedication. Lori (& Rodney) are the glue that holds this entire team together. We are all so happy for you!

They're not around anymore. But I agree it should be a thing.

Thanks to the field crew and the folks at HQ for getting that auton bug sorted out, it was handled very well. It was a tough 5 matches against a scary alliance.

And of course thanks to our alliance partners 1718 and 74, you guys performed amazingly.

Congrats to 33, 68, and 503 for chairman's, and of course to 27, 33, 314 on winning.

That puts killer bees at the blue banner lead for the year with 5. Very impressive team, always fun to compete with you guys.
