I'll post that in a moment. Meanwhile, I present "FTA Vision" for those who've wondered what an FTA does during a match. I bet you never realized that FTAs have a connection between their corneas and the FMS. I hacked into the FTA's ocular systems during match 39.

Special thanks to 8008 and 3102, we had an absolute blast playing with you this weekend. Gitch is getting better and better every year, thank you so much 2512!

Edit: Yep, totally meant 8009!

Don't mean to nitpick here, but 8009 right, 4009's practice bot?

Congrats to 8009, 1816, and 3102 for winning Gitchi Gummi!

I didn't know 4009 had a practice bot, but man I'd just like to say they've been an up and coming team for the past couple of years. I won't be surprised if I see them win a few more regionals and make their name heard at champs in the future just like this year.

Yes, 8009 and yes Denfeld is becoming an force to be reckoned with.

We absolutely loved the Gitchi Gummi Get-Together! This was our first time going to a summer competition and team 2512 really set the bar high for what an off-season competition should be! The location was outright stunning, the match times kept us on our feet, the volunteers were awesome, and the food was great!

We were very blessed to be picked as the 3rd team for the 1st Alliance(Thanks 4009 and 3883!). The playoff matches were very close and a great experience for us!

Thank you for an amazing time! We will definitely be back next year!

Same here for 3244 first offseason event. We really enjoyed the competition format and allowing us to give our very young team "Rookie season 2.0" this experience. Many of our team members had observation jobs at regionals with only one "Freshman" that had a drivers spot last year. All the kids (5) had an opportunity to participate on the floor. Some seemed to love it others not so much. That's what's great about FRC so many jobs from IT/support to Front man/ face of the team.
We where honored to join the 4th ranked alliance Teams 4656 Rock Solid Robotics out of Two Harbors, and 2175 The Fighting Calculators from Woodbury and nearly pull off the big upset vs. the #1 alliance. It took 3 tries at the tie beaker before 4009, 3883, 4480 figured out how to defeat 3 functioning robots. Everyone must admit that was a nail biting 30 minutes of competition.

We had so much fun and we will be most definitely be returning next year.

4656 Rock Solid Robotics, 2175 The Fighting Calculators, and other teams that attempted to get our vision tracking back after configureing our radio for the event. This Thread says it all. We plugged everything in tonight and with no changes it works. Radio still configured for the FMS.

So you are convincing FIRST to get all FTAs a hololens, right?

Supposedly we're going to have some in the company library for checkout.

I don't know, it probably depends on if FIRST is impressed or appalled at my field monitor app. They wouldll have to MacGyver some side shields for the HoloLenses to keep the UL folks happy though.

The graph view does give a bit of a different picture than the regular field monitor, the trip time that David was commenting on wasn't "horrible" but when you can see across 150 seconds of match time that one team that had (likely code) issues causing the trip jump to 30 ms occasionally it looks "bad" or at least noticeable. Of course 30 ms is less than a 30th of a second so the drivers aren't actually feeling the lag the way they would if it were jumping above 100 ms.

The most interesting thing I found is that the radio signal quality (the light blue line) shows when a radio starts to reboot. The signal goes away for a while, then when the radio reconnects the signal quality line comes back a good 10 seconds before the RoboRIO reconnects and starts reporting voltage.

The app is a Windows 10 Universal App, it will run on all Win-10 platforms including X-Box and IoT. After I'm happy with it I'll dump it in Xamarin to see if I can get it to run on Android.

We'll need 4 or so for the double DECCer? I'll bring mine at least.

Sounds like production is up to demand. Currently anyone with an MSA can go buy one from the Microsoft Store.
