Thanks, that had a wacky title on it, so I missed what it was about.

Almost all of 1676's Newton full-field footage is now uploaded and can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...9R14DZnbqgem-I. The only videos missing are those of Qualification Matches 8 and 11-24, but I believe most of those were hastily recorded elsewhere while our camera temporarily went berserk. The Newton-Hopper Awards Ceremony and Newton Alliance Selections can also be found in that playlist, and all of our Einstein full-field footage and videos of the Opening Ceremonies and Closing Awards Ceremonies can be found in our Einstein playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...FuMKI-pN-1gaSn. Enjoy!

Being on the winning alliance for Newton was a fabulous experience. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect to be on the winning alliance of such a high-caliber division. Team 4678 is very grateful to teams 217, 3476 and 188 for being our partners in this wonderful experience.

Being the 3rd member of the alliance, we were very curious how well we contributed to the level of scoring our alliance was able to achieve. We know that it's usually the top 2 teams that are responsible for the majority of the points scored in a match. We suspected that might have been a bit different with our alliance and the analysis of the video footage would suggest that is how we managed to succeed on the Newton field.

We may have gotten a few things wrong in our analysis of the video footage but we think we got it pretty close. Have a look at the spreadsheet for the details. It turns out 217, 3476 and 4678 were practically equal. Each team contributed an average of very close to 60 points per game not including the breach and capture points.

5499 played great shut-down D against several of the higher-OPR teams during Newton quals, as did 48. I was not surprised at all to see 5150 pick 48. I was surprised that no one picked 5499.

We want to thank 217 for picking us as the 7th alliance captain!
We also want to thank 4678 and 188 for their continuous push in each and every match.
All of us were great shooters and contributed the same amount practically every match. And hey, we had 2 tall bots on our alliance... so what's that about people thinking tall bots were the wrong move?
Thank you to all the teams in Newton, it was an honor to play against all of you!
