Re: 2016 Pacific Northwest District Championship

Having an official practice field with FMS in the pits was so helpful! I'd like to thank the organizers of the event and the FTA's for agreeing to do this. The additional effort and expense to haul, set up and run a second field was greatly appreciated. The practice field time was divided into both FMS run practice matches and tethered measurement time. I felt this was a great use of the district's second field. Thank you!

The elimination matches were so intense with many tie-breakers. We had a great time and we are looking forward to seeing our fellow PNW teams in St. Louis.

I'd like to second this. We went into the event with basically zero shooting autonomous. The practice field allowed us to get a crude dead reckoning shooting autonomous working, and having access to extra practice matches whenever we wanted them was a blessing.

Thank you to the FTA's and anyone else involved with the setup and maintenance of the practice field!

Thirded. We rediagnosed (correctly this time!) some problems only because of this field.

Re: 2016 Pacific Northwest District Championship

Watched the Webcast from afar & really enjoyed the production values.

I missed the alliance selections, but noted the makeup of the alliances.

Wonderful that the number 5 alliance won it all.

Were there several declines? Did 5803 "poison the pond"?

Hoping that the NEDCMP can provide this level of gameplay.

5803 played very well the entire weekend. In the PNW DCHP there where really about 20 robots playing at a very high level that could beat each other in any given match. The number of third matches in the playoffs is a reflection of this parity. There were no declines.

I was thrilled that we were able to fit a practice field perfectly in the Pits. I had a ton of fun getting to work with the teams and help officiate practice matches so teams remember the rules when they go out on to the main arena.

(Plus the megaphone was a huge plus)
