2 v 3 in Dallas

[George Nishimura]

Please don't point fingers at or accuse teams, directly or indirectly, with incomplete information. 3802 (*and/or 2613) could be broken, or elected to not play themselves.

The GDC also can't really enforce active participation of three robots, only incentivize it.

EDIT: asterisk

Their third robot 3802 was working on a step can grabber and was making some modifications... I wouldn't jump to conclusions. It only makes you look bad.

Pointing out that 118's alliance also elected to play with only two robots in their first match, if memory serves correctly.

The alliance of 148, 987, and 3802 do intend to compete with all three robots on the field as soon as 3802 is up and running.

According to the livestream, 118's alliance's third robot was supposed to be on the field for their second quarterfinal match, but didn't make it on time.

Looks like 3802 is coming in on this match.

good to see full alliance

High Rollers 987 actually just sat this match out....Comm issues. Interesting. They're still on top, but what if that happens in finals?

Should this thread be 1 vs 3?

118 and 2613 didn't even make it to the field for semi 3. 624 still managed 95 points by themselves though.

Are the field crew being more strict with match times and setup times than they were earlier in the event.

It's very unusual to have this many teams missing their matches in eliminations.

If 987 had a problem with setting up in one minute, wouldn't it have been discovered before semi-finals.

Can anyone who's there chime in? Can't tell much from the stream.

The rule says "significant or repeated delays". Is 987 really taking that long to set up? I wouldn't imagine so...

I wonder if it has anything to do with the very extended nature of this event. Since Dallas is going so late, the refs may be trying to ensure the event concludes as quickly as possible...

Still would like to see things enforced uniformly, just so that no one has any surprises in playoffs.

Consistent enforcement would be great. At PNW Auburn Teams were asked to not revert robots to transport config in playoffs to speed up match turnaround. The teams were not taking over 60 seconds, but the field crew wanted to move faster. They started requesting this on Friday night when we were 2 hours behind
