The Woodie Flowers Award went to Eric Stokely from FRC Team 360.

So far I am liking the interviews on Einstein better this year so far

What's with the lack of defense? These matches are so boring to watch.

I mean, if you don't know too much about the other Alliance, triple offense isn't a bad plan. Now that they've seen the other 7 Alliances, they can start formulating a better plan for defense.
Additionally, many of these teams have largely undefendable shots or shoot from protected locations, so conventional courtyard defense would be fairly ineffective. An argument could be made for neutral zone delay tactics, but I'm not sure how effective it would be.

2990 was playing a sort of defense the whole game - by feeding their alliance balls, they simultaneously starved their opposition of game pieces. conventional courtyard defense would have done nothing for them when all three opposing robots could just shoot over them

5th QF was amazing. What happened to 2990 though? Seemed like they lost comms.

Also congrats 2990, its great to see a PNW team on Einstein!

It sounded like the RoboRIO got reset. Apparently, the claim was that one of the low bar flaps hit our RoboRIO's reset button??? Not sure. I'm in Oregon hearing the noise :-)

I wonder what their strategy was to improve them.

On a more serious note, I have been loving the Einstein presentation so far. Having all of the teams walk onto the floor with their standards was brilliant and despite the field issues, they have done a good job filling time thus far.

The sideline reporter is Jonell Gregor. She was on Krunch in high school and now mentors 5816, is an Ambassador at the South Florida Regional and is on the Orlando Regional planning committee. She graduated from UCF with a mechanical engineering degree and now works for Disney. She also is the sideline reporter for Roboshow. We are super proud of her. She's AWESOME!
