We didn't do anything other than semis/finals on either day, so let's see how my memory holds. Can't recall exact rankings and all that.

Saturday:
In the #4 slot, 1197, 1198, 599, and one other robot were out in semis.
Out of the #3 slot, 1452 withdrew as AC due to severely damaged robot; don't remember who replaced them. I'm pretty sure this alliance had 687, 4079, and 4584 (the last two for sure). Out in semis...
#1 slot was led by 5810, can't recall who was with them.
5209 was Finalist; I want to say that 3255 was one of the winners--but I can't say for sure which one was on #1 and which was on #2.


Sunday (11 robots):
(#1) 5209-687-5285 (F)
4470-1197-980 (W)
5765, 4584, 4913, 1198, 5285, 5869 were the semifinalists, but I can't recall who was on which alliance. #4 fell to #1 in a 3v2 matchup; #1 got a random semifinalist (5285, in this case) added to their alliance for the finals due to the lack of available teams during picking. (Though it does help if all the robots stay connected during the third finals match...)


I'll have to ask at the post-event discussion if anybody has the results and can post them.

If you guys were using FMS lite it's able to keep track of matches and it's results. Might want to check!

Not with the match setup we were using for Sunday finals... we had to figure something on the fly. I'll be checking in a few minutes.

Edit: Checked, and someone will be working on it shortly.

Just to explain the match setup we were using on Sunday finals, we had to pull something that FMS Lite couldn't do while in the playoffs system. We promoted a team from "out" to "in" to replace another team on a 3-team alliance with no backups. I believe some "test matches" were run... That was a fun one to pull off, and possibly worth watching the webcast for, if I can locate a recording and the proper time (between semis and finals).

And having gotten the full (and I do mean full) data from the FMS operators, I can post the official alliances/finishes. (Skipping the rankings, unless someone wants 'em.)

Saturday:
#1: 5810-3255-1160-980 (W)
#2: 5209-3453-4486-4470 (F)
#3: 4584-4079-687-3512 (SF, 3 matches)
#4: 1197-1198-981-599 (SF)

Sunday:
#1: 5209-687-5285 (F)
#2: 4470-1197-980 (W, 3 matches)
#3: 4913-1198-5869 (SF)
#4: 5285-5765-4584 (SF).

In case anybody's wondering about that robot that's on both #1 and #4 on Sunday, yes, they were on both #4 and on #1. And I believe that I won't be far wrong in saying that they looked about like they won the lottery when their number was drawn to fill in the hole in the #1 alliance.

On Saturday #1 Alliance was 5810, 3255, 1160 and 980.

IIRC the last robot in the #4 alliance was 981.
