UCF regional!

[miketwalker]

Well, I just got back from setting up today... and from everything I saw... we're in good shape in my humble opinion.

[Andrew Rudolph]

The set up looks good, same as last year with the tent, but better than last year, level floor, projector not on the roof. Looks like its going to be a good comp and even better weather!

[miketwalker]

Oh yea, one last minute thing... I'm still around this year, so if anybody's having problems with programming/autonomous/wiring/etc.... come grab me. Unfortunatly I've been so busy that I haven't been able to organize a workshop for UCF (I'll still hold one at nationals again however) to have today... and I haven't made print-outs or anything lol, but feel free to come grab me from 21's pits... or you'll see me around, or something. Good luck to all!

/me wants to be there, too.

2 things....
1) When you're watching, look closely down by the scorekeeper (he has a table with 2 flat screens on it built in in this big case) and if you see a guy there, it's probably me if it's the afternoon... good view of the field and the whole FIRST volunteer thing
2) Heheheh... from the way the network people were joking around when setting up... if ANYBODY other than the 2 or 3 people authorized that are working there use the Wi-Fi... they will be kicked out of the place if they don't stop connecting in, or just plain old hacked lol. They changed it from last year, so no more of SPAM's 5000 laptops connecting to the wifi.

180 points! Jeebus! They aren't the 1st seeded alliance for nothing...

Anyone else who is watching this, shouldn't Children of the Swamp get MAJOR penalties or DQ for popping not one, but two big yellow balls?? Destruction of the field much??

This happened with one team at nj last week, the big ball gets stuck in the ball chute and is pushed more due to a bot being pushed into the ball by another team. Really no penalties would be given out in this case for popping the big ball(s).

PS if anybody is wondering thisa was in match: QF3.2

[Kaelia]

Well, according to the rules (as far as I know), the bot doing the pushing should have gotten penalties...

And in this case, Swamp popped that first yellow ball all by themselves...

[Alex Cormier]
