Since Evan Forbes updated his website to try to adjust out for teams that had high auto scores and coop scores getting credit for those scores more than once when partnered with alliances who also score in the same way, his max OPR scores for each team are no longer correct, that's why 624 was showing, but no longer is showing a favorable schedule. By Max OPR they would be 4th, but are predicted 2nd for a +2 favorable schedule.

I've made that change. We currently have contact info for 19 different teams, but I know I've seen some other teams posting is this thread - please join in the fun!

Has anyone made an online scouting sheet that shows how high/many each team can stack ?

We are waiting to see. This game has thrown everything into disarray from one vent to another. Heck in Windsor we went into Alliance selection with 2 traction/2 omni wheels and by time alliance selection was over we had 4 omni's.

I would say that a lot of bots will have some new toys and abilities we haven't see so far.

See this thread

I tried to link you to the spreadsheet but it's giving me some peculiar URL.

FIRST has posted the Tesla Match Schedule at their Web Site.
The Spyder app has also posted the Tesla Schedule.
Both are the same as the Preliminary Schedule.
We noticed there were 2 pits with unopened crates but no people.
Might want to double check that your alliance partners get through inspection and are ready for their match.

after the first day of quals, I really liked how the top teams are so close to each other. There is no way to predict who will end up in first place, and matches are very exciting (we had a 228 to 220 match) There is so many good stackers in here, and any of them could make it to Einstein.

We're all hyped for tomorrow!

Yes, many great teams... Not Happy that I am still in Detroit, but kind of relieved that I will sleep well tonight knowing our Scouting team isn't.

I love that the high level parity in TESLA, made this game (job) pretty fun to watch from Detroit.

Choose Wisely.

Wish I was there...

High score in Tesla : 262 in match 117 for the blue alliance!

[LuukVoesten4481]

We made a picture database of all the robots in the Tesla division. So if your team can use it for the alliance picking it would be great. Team 4481 had some great matches with all Tesla teams.

Good luck teams and have fun!

Well that was a heckuva lot of fun! 3824 had a blast playing with all of the teams on Tesla and making so many new friends. Congrats to Thunder Down Under and the entire winning alliance - and best of luck on Einstein!!
