Especially when there are 16 alliances

Totally agree.
Champs will be interesting to see.
I would predict very little #1 seeds getting to Einstein.
The fields wont be as deep with 8 divisions and unless the higher seeds can get a good 3rd robot, it wont be enough.

*Exceptions being one of the very few powerhouse teams.

There was nothing wrong with the alliance. Both 1684 and 33 missed their climbs. (Also, our freshman driver had never played defense before in his life )

HOT, Rush, and Fighting Pi (27, 67, 1718) just got a new world high score of 230 in a SF tie breaker match.

Edit: Apparently the score is higher and TBA hasn't updated yet. Well, 230 is the high score for MSC, at least.

The current high score is above 250

Also, I told you my sophomore boys were going farther than quarters...

100% accuracy today

Oops... TBA hasn't updated. Edited post to reflect this.

Edit: And did the stream go offline for everyone?

It's dead for me.

[Bob Steele]

Same here... dead going into finals

Very Choppy stream, but robozone is still up http://www.robozonetv.com/live-stream

Edit: Stream is back up, but robozone is a good backup if it goes down again.

Interesting recall on that first finals match. As it was described it should have been a field fault. If the ref panel failed that's a field fault.

Congrats to 27, 67, 1718, and 6086 on a hard-fought win! This entire event has been crazy competitive, kudos to them for a good win.

Easily the best MSC finals since 2010 (maybe ever). Congrats to the champions! Incredible matches in every round

As I understood it, it wasn't a failure of the tablet, but a failure of FMS to register what the tablet said. I'm no expert on the system, but is that not similar to when real-time scoring fails? They don't call field faults for those.

They did in NE this weekend. I am not entirely sure, but I think whether to redo the match or not in that case is up to the head referee's discretion.
