Standings of SPBLI regional?

[[527]phil]

I don't think one side had anymore chance than another. I think an awesome match was when we (527) we're paired up with 2 defensive robots, and the other team consisted of 3 capping robots (including the pobots) and we won by a point, that was the most tense I've been when waiting for the score to come up

I want to thank 527 for picking us and 870 for alliance partners.
Hey, Ken and Phil, you guys are a great drive team and we did work great together didn’t we?

I should say our coach Pat (DarkJedi), driver Chris (Revolverx7), arm operator Liz (RoboticsIsLife), all around great human Bryan (MobiusOne358), and autonomous Bobby (AIBob) all worked well with our alliance partners. You guys were fantastic! (Don’t get cocky, we have Philly in three days.)

I also want to complement all our opponents on well fought and exciting matches.
Finals was very, very exciting.

And Bobby that “string” was Spectra and is 700 lb test. Those were the repairs, so one of our pulleys was held on by $.70/ft “string” at the end!

The most tense I was when we were waiting for the score to the final match.

I'm gonna try to get a video up of our autonomous modes working together. I'll post it when I have it.

Since I'm home on my spring break, I'll be doing video editing for 527 and will also post some as soon as I can. (I still have 3.1 gigs of video from my trip to BAE with Team 97 on my hard drive!)

Here's the video of the autonomous modes which everyone thought looked cool.

Bleh I just realized the font was messed up at the end and it goes from like really big to really small...I'll fix it later though.

Thankyou to team 527. From TEAM R.I.C.E. 870. You guys put together a great alliance with us and 358 Hauppauge.

The finals were a true competition and the alliance was great. It was like a showdown at sundown the way the robots faced the opponents in auton.

Congrats to all teams competing at the regional as well. The teams were impressive and well versed in the FIRST experience. Lets all keep up the great work!

Shows from start of autonomous to final score. (Edited it out replays and random announcer comments).

Will have the Quarter Finals, Semis and the rest of our qualifying matches whenever I get time to capture them. (Yes, we have video of every match we were in =P, thanks Steve).

I also have the 2.1 Mbps versions which i can distribute via CD to ppl whenever I burn them.

Team 870, it was completly our pleasure to be with your team! You guys had an amazing robot that just had some bad luck in qualifying.

I think i was the most tense waiting for the second to last match when we won the first time, lost the second, and the third was too close to tell, but we won by 2 points!!, lol hope to see you guys at the nationals.

[Revolverx7]

Waiting for the score for the final match to come up was probably the worst wait I have ever experienced. But thanks to team 527 and 870, the best alliancce partners, we were able to take home the final match.

Hope to see you all in Atlanta!

This neglects repeated numbers and the fact that no two teams have the same number, as well as quadruple digit teams.)

Freaky 3 X 3 square of SBPLI winning alliance team numbers that reads the same horizontally as it does vertically (originally pointed out by AIBob):

3 5 8
5 2 7
8 7 0

Soooo, I did a brute-force statistical analysis on this, and here are the results:

From a computer program that randomizes three 3-digit team numbers, eliminating any combinations with repeated team numbers:

Using 10,000,000 sample combinations, the computed probability of hitting three team numbers that could line up in any order to form the 3 X 3 square that reads the same horizontally as vertically was: 0.60086%. I'd give this an accuracy of roughly +- 0.02%. This is close enough to say it's 6 out of 1,000.

Using the team list from SBPLI gives an absolute answer:
There are 40 teams, which can be combined into alliances of three in 9880 ways. Of these, only 3654 do not have a quadruple-digit team in them. (Double digits are okay;they get a leading zero.) Of the 3654, only 21 could be lined up into a 3 X 3 square that reads the same horizontally and vertically. (This is 0.575%, right as predicted.) They are:

028 028 028 028 287 352 352
270 271 287 287 871 527 527
806 810 870 871 711 270 271

352 353 353 353 358 358 358
566 527 545 545 500 527 527
263 371 352 358 806 870 871

358 527 533 545 545 545 884
570 271 352 417 496 496 871
806 711 329 570 564 566 417

The OVERALL probability of an alliance forming at random at SBPLI whose team numbers can be lined up into the 3 X 3 square thingy is 21/9880 or 0.21255%.

Conclusion: If you don't believe in fate, then this matchup is merely a 1 time out of 470 or so coincidence. Factor in that our three seating sections were lined up immediately adjacent to each other (forming one massive cheering section) and that this year's field layout is itself a 3 X 3 arrangement, and you could make a pretty convincing argument that this alliance was meant to be.

Whoa that's crazy.

Did any of you guys tape the awards ceremony? Specifically when we won the chairman's award? I'd like to get a copy of it if possible.

[chinckley]

How do we find the other regional standings, scores and winners.
I am interested in them all, but specifically the Detroit Regional (this past weekend) and West Michigan Regional (which is next weekend).

Thanks.

You forgot that we are in numerically increasing order while in the 3x3 block, which is less likely:

028 028 028 028
270 271 287 287
806 810 870 871
 
358 358 358
500 527 527
806 870 871
 
358
570
806

Which is 8/9880 = 0.0008097 or 0.08% or 1/1235
