Looking forward to it. Getting ready to make the trip down Hard Road to load in tomorrow.

Slightly disappointed to not see 120 on the list. Regardless, this should be an exciting event! A lot of really good teams are on that list.

Seeing this, I'm really bummed I can't make it back to Ohio this weekend (seriously, I do plan to make it back there eventually for a regional or this event!)... It's at my alma mater! I can't even watch the live stream as I'll be working the Minnesota State Championship. Good luck to all competing, but especially to the WorBots

From what I understand, 120 is going to the NASA 75th anniversary celebration instead of the OSC. They'll be missed.

Enjoy the banners! They look sharp as always. Can someone please take a photo of them for me this year?

Thanks

I could take a pic of the three hanging in our shop. *swagggggggg*

I will try to take some more photos than I usually do at the competition.

Yeah, I think there may be an error here.

5 wins in qualifications 5*3 = 15
6 wins in Carver Elims 6*6 = 36
6 wins on Einstein 6* 6 = 36
1 second round pick + 5 = 5

= 92 points.

Even if they scored 0 points at any of their other events, the 92 points from their trip to Einstein would be valued at 75%, or 69 points. They totally should be on this list.

If a team qualifies for the World Championships, their score at the Championships will be used if it raises the team’s score. Therefore, performance at the Championships can’t hurt a team’s ranking but it can be used as their highest or second highest score if it this would increase their score.

Looks like they actively chose to go to a sponsor's event instead, which is understandable. I had no doubt that they were more than qualified for OSC.

The list in the document (those attending the OSC) is NOT the final rankings list. I believe there were 6 declines, including 120, who ranked first in the state based on points criteria. A team's overall rank is listed in the left column of the attendee team list in the PDF doc. You will notice that #1 is missing.


And because y'all gonna ask...I attached the post-championship final Ohio rankings.

I look forward to watching this event, including our Carson alliance partners 4028! Good luck to everyone competing at this event!

Woohoo! World Peace!

Unfortunately team 120 will not be able to participate. NASA is having their 75th anniversary and we wanted to help them celebrate. NASA is our primary sponsor and we wouldn't think of missing an opportunity to be part of their celebration since they are such a big part of our history.

We really wanted to be at the state competition. Ohio has some great robots this year and it would have been great to see and compete against our friends once more. Good luck and have fun!

[Travis Hoffman]

I've been told that 1590 and 3324 are no longer participating. 5146 and 2603 are attending in their place.

Where can I find the results?
