Re: AZ Regionals: Incorrect Scoring?

The sounds of Windows XP playing throughout the arena (TacOPs ran on freebsd), and the numberous problems they've had (Sac had trouble with finals selection also). When I was watching the FL regional, they also had a problem with the arena computer (kinda funny, caused like a 10 minute delay). Lets not forget the real time scoring. The only time I saw real time scoring was in the FL webcast, and it was only there for about 2 matches.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, we shold be respectful to FIRST, and allow them to deal with the scoring problems .. keeping in mind FIRST isnt just about robots. Getting mad at the officals for scoring problems probally wont help. If you're worried about your rank for the alliance selections, I wouldnt. The best robots will be picked for the final matches (1038 and 175 - 4th ranked alliance on Curie in the 04 CMP, picked us .. ranked 52 out of 73, and we went on to win the division) Pure evidence that ranks done matter.

With that said, I think it would be wise for FIRST to have the scoring system/arena computer fixed .. since they probally payed a pretty penny (and we dont see "Hatch Technologies" as a sponser) for that custom system, it might as well work right
Ranks most certainly do matter. If a team should be ranked #1 and they end up ranked #4 or something, then it's not a good thing. They even matter if you're not in the top ranks. When #14 or #15 ranked teams end up picking alliances, they often have poor scouting and end up picking the higher ranked team they can find. When it comes down to it, though, teams and their sponsors are also investing a pretty penny in this program. They deserve a well run event without all these glitches and problems.
