As to the food, I was very unimpressed. I think that's it's very irresponsible of the venue (not FIRST) to not allow us to bring our own food to an all day event, and then to supply us with nothing but pretzels, pizza and nachos all day. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm whining, but what about those of us who don't eat those three options? I understand that they're used to providing food for a 3 or so hour game, but if they are unable to sufficiently do the job then they need to let us bring our own food in. :end rant:

That was the most expensive pizza I'd ever had. The worst too.

As for teams, I think 279 is doing awesome with their tetra hopper. I'm pretty sure they won an award for it, but I don't remember.

Today was much more intense than the practice rounds. A lot of robots stacking tetras. A lot of robots preventing other robots from stacking tetras. A good day it was.

Anyone have the rankings after today for GLR? The scoring system seemed to be really slow to update all day, our team didn't get a chance to see where we were at the end of the day.

The FIRST website isn't up to date or correct yet, they appear to have red and blue switched for each match and the rankings aren't updated.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

I believe today was fairly OK.

The food was fine for what I had. A real slushy slushy and a plain pretzel, over at the convocation center, not bad.

Good luck tomarrow, and get some sleep.

Our neighbors (both at home and in the pits, as it turns out) are somewhere in the pack. Not in the leaders, but not dead last either.

When I talked with them their spirits still seemed quite high.

Competition is getting tougher as machines are tweaked and operators gain experience. The data on the FIRST site seems very incomplete and the scores seem to be reversed. Hopefully they will get corrected tomorrow.

326 kinda stuck out to me.. they took 5 and stacked them all at once

If anyone is in need of scouting info tomorrow, Team 66 has nearly every team scouted. We will have our laptop and projector set up in our pit. Just let someone know what teams you need to see scouting info for.

Team 66(great bot),67,and 528(I think) really stuck out to me. Another team that really stuck out to me was team 1549. Although they aren't doing so hot ranking wise, you have to give them credit for their effort. They are a ROOKIE team and they have used a ladder as their lift which is working real well. They just need to get their drivers to understand the game. Alot of dq's and some penalities. Hopefully tomorrow they will do better. They deserve a rookie award in my book. Great competition though.
