Just Bedford, I hope - otherwise, it's gonna be a lot of driving

I'd love to have the detail on Howell and Woodhaven! What's the easiest way for me to get it?

Seeing my team ranked 3rd in both of our districts is pretty exciting.

This year, we are doing something a bit different (again). We will see how it goes!
Hint: we're using multiple timing belts again... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQY3FD4p6cA

Also encouraging to see ourselves at 2nd and 5th. Too bad we won't be seeing you in TC this year.

I'm happy to see 857 ranked so high I'll be watching your progress this competitions season...hopefully I'll see you at MSC!

First for Howell and Traverse City, above 469 for Bedford, and top 8 for States? Really? I'll take it =D

Fine work Bryce; thanks for sharing!

[Coach#3536]

Just a bit of warning from 3536. We had a real tough time with field connections day one with our bot. 5 matches of dumps and drops from field communication. We found out the hard way it had to do with our use of the smart dashboard and data logging. We suggest any team using it to turn it off if possible when going to field. We followed the wpi templates and it made us backlog on start up and drop! It doesn't show up in practice mode. FTA was awesome helping us find it but we suffered with a great robot until it was found. Hence a great final day when the robot was able to do what it was designed to do. Thankfully scouts on our alliance did their homework and found us in the crowd of numbers. Thanks to our partners we had a great day! Good luck everyone.

Dang, I thought I had waited until they were filled. You guys rank first at Lansing.

Oops? Not sure how that happened. It's fixed now, but were you registered for Troy earlier in the registration season?

I have them attached here (Woodhaven is mifla, Howell is mihow). Anyone can feel free to ask for others. The numbers in the brackets show the teams' performance at each competition like [2014a, 2014b], [2013a, 2013b, 2013c], [2012a, 2012b]. The final prediction is then ((1.5 * average of 2014 competitions) + (1 * average of 2013 competitions) + (.5 * average of 2012 competitions)) / 3, which also happens to be equal to (2014 average + average improvement each year from 2012 to 2014).

As a side note, does anyone know why Woodhaven's event code is mifla? Why not something like miwdh, miwhv, miwhn, mibrn, mibrt, or something else related to Woodhaven HS or it's city?
