A bit, but it was rather unimpressive.

Yeah the audio mixing sounded a little off on the live stream.

Here it is for reference: http://youtu.be/zkJ48YjPnM4

Also it seems like people cheered louder for when the paper airplane flew on stage than during the matches themselves, is that actually the case?

[Steven Donow]

This stuff in between matches is pretty good. Better than the usual stuff.

EDIT: I take it back. Badly mixed music isn't fun.

They copied Crowd-A-Tron from Orlando and it was a pretty good Championship version. I do think they went a little fast on the history sequence though.

I'm very disappointed by the video quality of these matches once again. I can't even see what's going on most of the time because it's obscured by a ref or part of the goals. Why can't we just have one stationary full-field view? That's all most of us want.

Agreed... especially towards the end of the match when there are potential buzzer beaters at both ends of the field and you can only watch one (if that). At least there's a functioning scoreboard.


Congrats to Curie moving to the finals!

The problem with that is it's not good for actually being at the venue. Also full-field view is very bad for people who don't know much about FRC/Aerial Assist.

It's an unfortunate fact. Also, the full-field view in Autonomous isn't ideal at all for the entirety of the match.

This Macy's parade woman is hilarious!

Another stream with a stationary camera would be fantastic!

2015 WATER GAME!!!

Did anyone else catch that subtle hint?

254 vs 1114. Battle for most blue-banners goes all the way to Einstein!

[Basel A]

It's basically a 50-50, but I think Curie will break the curse.

[dodar]

Looks like the curse has been broken.

That 254 auto vs 1114....
