Wow! That was a great match! And thank you guys, for all of the nice things you have said.

The design we have for our feet does not penetrate through (as was said earlier).

We of Team 60 want to thank 294, 968, and 696 for an awesome competition. The finals were great!

And for those of 696, you killed our "legs"! Be prepared to be getting a nice "trophy" in the mail! haha

Amanda

Mentor Mark Miller respectfully
asks how do you control the ramp holders (what kind of motors and controls) and why didn't they go up at the end of the finals match?

I wanted a pic of kowtow for this post, but couldn't find it.

edit: Ah, from Daniel's response posted at the same time as I was writing mine I can see why it would be controversial. Great attitude though, guess that's how you guys won the sportsmanship award.
He's a keeper!

Hey I know you! We'll be looking forward to the package and we'll be sending that horn too. Good luck at the Championship!

Please leave it at that. They deserved the win.

Thanks you guys for a great competition.
I didn't know how deep the grippers on 60 were. Sorry if I offended anyone. I think I speak for all of 294 that we are VERY pleased with the performance at Phoenix, and our enemies performance as well :-) See you guys next year

Three robots on top of the ramp = 0 points!

The situation on the ramp for the red alliance's robots (696 and 294) was a repeat of the end of the final match at the SCRRF scrimmage held at Chatsworth a few days before the robots shipped. In the last match of the SCRRF final, Team 207's tread was just touching the mesh and a corner of 207 was just touching Team 974's robot. In this case, though, the result of the final was reversed. Our alliance (207, 974 and 980) was initially announced as the champions, but the rule book was subsequently consulted regarding robots touching robots touching the mesh. The loss of 50 points resulted in the opposing alliance (399, 1197 & ??) gaining the championship. It was a great event with an exciting but controversial finish.

Back to the SoCal regional final: I wasn't sure whether Team 60 could have lifted their legs if they wanted to. It looked like Team 696 had them pinned. Certainly the correct strategy for Team 60 would be to leave the leg contacting the mesh to avoid giving 50 QPs to the red alliance. I'm guessing Team 60 had no intention of lifting their leg from the mesh...

Yes it was extremely similar to the scrrf finals.

And the teams were 399, 1197 & 968 strangely.

Again, an awesome match against 60. I do agree that team 60 might not have had any intention of raising their arms. Totally abolishing your own score when you have a secure first match win is a good strategy to ensure you advance with the higher QP's even if you forfit the win in the second match.

Okay, here goes:

Redhead Jokes: I'm not to sure exactly what type of motors we use to move the feet, but I do know that there are two : one for each side. The two feet are connected together in the middle and are controlled by one gear. (of course this is symmetrical on both sides.)

And our legs were killed by the end of the competition. I don't think that our driver tried to lift them, because he's pretty smart, but I don't doubt that we might not have been able to because of the damage.

Sanddrag: I want that horn! Make sure that you send it to me (Amanda) specifically! And we were in the market for a plaque to mount it on to-day, so it'll get there when we get it in!

DanielBCR: Hey! No offense taken here! We love you guys! even if we would hae lost, the matches were awesome, and would have been good whether we won or lost!

David Brinza: I don't think we did either... I was hoping not, but I'm just the team strategist, you know, I'm not in charge of actually playing the game!

There! I answered you all! I can't wait to see you guys at nats! look for the group of girls wearing duct tape clothing and you'll see me! haha! Stop by and ask to sign my pants!

Anyway it was diced, the final results would have been the same
with 60, 1046, and 598 winning the round. They had enough QP from the first match that they won anyway you counted the robots.

The field wasn't damaged, the middle part wasnt bolted to anything. I wonder if FIRST will find some way to better secure that section on Einstein...

Very exciting!
