This will be the reason TBA and anything else will not have match info until it's fixed.

For those of us without accounts, could you elaborate on the issue?

The first website for rankings is down. The only people who have current rankings are at the event

Karthik, you're the real MVP.

It is awesome to watch 148 and 987 scoring at will. Still waiting to see Alfred do his thing. It looks like wide and tall robots carrying tall stacks don't play well with the scoring platforms. Am I the only one seeing far fewer Robot Sets in Autonomous than I would expect.

The matches should be individually archived at dallasfirstvideo.com, but I wouldn't expect them to be posted soon. I can't remember how long it has taken them to get the matches up in the past. Maybe by the end of the weekend?

Here's the thread. Not much in the way of answers...

I'm hearing rumours of 148's Alfred being ruled illegal on grounds of safety? Can anyone expand on that?

I can't verify this myself, but based on some of the chat on the Livestream feed, it appears that a referree ran into the string that 148 uses during setup, and it was ruled a safety hazard.

Again, I'm participating in the live feed chat and saw this discussed by someone with 148 connections. But, I can't say this is gospel truth myself.

Huh my bets were on visible numbering being the rule they would break. I did hear the announcer running around on the field make a comment that he almost smacked into a string though.

Alfred was not in Match 40, so I assume it was indeed ruled illegal. Also, it looks like 148 hasn't adjusted there autonomous code to do the tote stack with the bins still on the field yet. They did nothing in autonomous for Match 40.

I just want to give a shout out to 987. That is one phenomenal machine. Nicely done, guys!
