My apologies. Thanks for setting me straight. But still, there are 4 wc in the field which is very impressive.

Here is some REAL Field Damage. This is just a fraction of what we are seeing.



This piece of poly is one of the dividers on the Batter.

I feel your pain. As field reset at GSD last weekend I collected at least 15 bent or broken pegboard pins, and that was just one field resetter on one end of the field.

Looks like 1678 clinched the 1st seed spot.

This year's Central Valley Regional was awesome! The atmosphere and facilities were great, every volunteer was eager and kind, and the competition was intense. IMO it was the best CVR yet, and it will only get better. Thanks to 1323, 8, and 5677, you guys were so much fun to work with.

That funny moment when you look up the results of this event more in depth and discover that the entire finalist alliance (including back up robot) is going to championship

1323 gets a wildcard via 1678 winning the regional and being last years world champion
5817 gets Rookie All Star
8 gets a wild card via 254 winning the regional and being a hall of fame team
5677 gets a wild card via 1671 winning engineering inspiration and being last years world champion

I love the wild card system so much for this very reason, but I am curious about why 8 was unable to play in elims.

CVR was awesome to attend in person this year. 973 had a good time.

We are uploading our match video to this playlist. Eliminations are up, missing Finals 1 and 2.

Quals should be up sometime tomorrow, Q11 wasn't recorded but all other matches are there.

Enjoy! 973 will see everyone again soon at Ventura


Edit: All matches are up!

Can 254 scale? I've only watched a few of those matches, but I haven't seen 254 scale yet.

They did not in CV from what I saw and I watched most of it... maybe they can? 1678 sure can. One of the coolest moments in CVR was 1678 was getting blocked by a cheesecake at back of courtyard.... then something totally unexpected happened...they raised their shooter about 6 inches or so and hit the HG... what was funny is they only did that once that I saw...very cool. I was shocked they could do that and it was a total surprise.

I thought they were at max height but after that I noticed they are shorter for that purpose. Amazing.

We did it 3 times in that match and I think twice in the next one. No one bothered to block us after that.

We did not scale at the Central Valley Regional.

Does anyone happen to have a photo of the one eliminations match where one blue robot ended up on top of one of their alliance partners on the batter at the end of the match?

Ah, missed your question. Team 8 was very bummed out about about missing the chance to play in eliminations. Unfortunately we had an issue with a fault because of an internal short in our RoboRio (not even the inspectors and control system advisors were sure exactly what was going on to the point where they were going to let it slide). We weren't able to replace our rio in time and so we switched out with 5677.

That said, we are very appreciative of how well our alliance played during eliminations and the fact we are going to St. Louis because of it! Best of luck to 1323, 5817, and 5677!
