Re: Newton Discussion

We AGONIZED over who we wanted to pair with for the elims. Aces High one time picked us in the past and it was hard to turn them down, but our rationale was that they kept getting tipped over and we didnt want that. As a team we were leaning towards both Wild Stang and High Rollers. We know the Rollers as our friends and alliance partners from LV and we knew they would get the job done. They also had the pushing power we wanted. But we also knew Stang from the 2003 season and lots of friendly interraction since then. Their dart in and shoot play also had great appeal. Both (actually a number of) teams had great robots that easily could have been a great partner. Imagine the dilemma of having to face 11 on Sat morning undefeated at the time. If we won they fell back into the mix. If they won and we dropped out of the top few spots and possibly couldn't pick them as partner. We talked about this Friday and both teams agreed that GP warranted we both do our best and play it as it fell. As it turned out they won (our first loss ever) and the result lowered our rank to where we were succeeded by Aces High, setting up this whole situation. My compliments to Aces High for playing the game like a pro. I'm not sorry about the outcome of the division but they sure made the game a greater challenge for us. Overall Newton was the toughest group of robots we played all year. How about a Newton Reunion on November 4 at our place for Brunswick Eruption 5? It was a great division and great FIRST year.

Re: Newton Discussion
I like that idea of a Newton Reunion (even though I may be biased..just a tad bit). But I agree, Newton had the most challenging set of robots we've ever faced off with..and I don't think anyone would disagree that the teams were most definately some of the best in the country.

You played both 111 and 11 Saturday morning. At the end of Friday 25 and 11 were both undefeated and Paul Kloberg (Senior Mentor for NJ agonized at two NJ teams playing each other) I'm sure it was just a typo, and I wanted to clarify. In any event, congrats to 25, 2 regional wins, a regional chairmans, divisional winners, and World Finalists...all In all a truly successful year. |

One problem is that the high scorers scored so much, I'm not sure that the numbers have the proper number of balls counted. I know our scouts saw us score fewer balls than we later saw on video, when we had a 128 point match with 987 on Friday afternoon. |

I noticed that too...several matches i blatently saw 9 balls go through the center goal and down the chute, and the RTS said that they scored 27 points (9x3=27) but then the human counters would say that only 7 or 8 went through...what happened to the mysterious phantom ball? |

They did this to break up any super-alliances. The reason they did so(well from my understanding) was because they knew that many teams would not want to accept their offer, because many teams did not consider them one of the better bots. |

Re: Newton Discussion
That was awesome competition. Even the qualifying matches were hard faught (101-92 anyone?). Thanks to 987 and 11 for being awesome in autonomous mode in various matches. We had some "luck of the draw" problems in the first few matches of elims, but that's the way it goes in a division that is as packed as Newton was.
