Maybe I missed something. Can you please explain this statement?

Seriously though, so many yellow cards.

1296's robot started smoking twice during Palmetto eliminations.. so it seems like the smoke was coming from the 775 motors.

Can someone explain the defense situation against 179 for me? I was at work and was unable to watch the stream.

From what I've gathered, they were stopped by a tall robot.

Is 179 able to shoot from the batter? I don't think you can really be defended well if your robot can score into the high goal from the batter. IIRC, 179 was trying to use vision tracking to lock on to the goals and then shoot from any orientation in the courtyard.

Since 4451 won the event and EI, they open up a wildcard which goes to 4547, the finalist alliance captain.

Unfortunately, I am unable to watch anything before the 3hr mark, perhaps it will work for others. The last 2 Finals matches are there (missing the epic F1).

From my perspective we were never shut down by anyone, we ran into some unexpected mechanical issues.

Does the moat count?

I think you have it backwards. Team 179 was a part of an alliance who's defense was really good. They were able to shut down a majority of shots the other teams had.

Yeah, you guys weren't "shut down" by anyone.. were you guys disrupted a bit by defenders? Yes, but not completely shut down. Congrats on winning the palmetto regional 179, 4451, and 1369! I'm excited to see 179 back at champs where they belong.

Yeah, sorry for the misconception. I was reading the thread in a rush at work.

I'll watch the live stream.. Just interested to see a defensive bot do some work.
