[orelinde]

does anyone know how many teams are currently on the wait list and how the teams are placed on the wait list because i tried to register but they are listed as full. i would like to find out the status of the wait list if possible. Thanks!

Does anyone know this scrimmage is being webcasted from Suffield?

I know that it has been in the past. It is always great for the guys back at the shop to catch the action going on at the field.

So far from watching the practice matches it looks like its going to be a good event!

If anyone is watching the UTC scimmage...talk about it here! From that first match I thought team 230's ramp design was very innovative, I have yet to see anything like that.

UTC Scrimmage has been interesting so far.

Several nice ramps. We're in sixth place right now, but we're probably done for the day. We blew a window motor, and have some minor controls issues to optimize in the next few days before it ships.

All in all, quite a good shakedown of our robot, and it was really nice seeing some of the other teams' work. 230 in particular has a very nice ramp.

Oops, a fire alarm right in the middle of alliance pairings halted the event for a while. It seems it's not an East Coast FRC event anymore without some kind of wacky delay. LOL

Congratulations to all who made it today to compete!!!
Being ready before a shipping deadline in time to compete is awesome in itself! Kudos to all teams who showed up!

It "sounds interesting but I can't see it. My school blocks all streaming content and YouTube. Can someone please post up progressive download video somewhere and provide a link? Thank you.

I spoke with someone from 176, and they plan on having archived footage (different than the webcam footage) up on their site I believe.

Someone from 176 want to confirm that?

Well, to everyone who attended- how did it play out all in all? Here's a whole bunch of pertinent questions. Though many of these things can and definitely will change as teams get up to speed:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was more important- ramping or racking?

Generally speaking, how hard was it to get on the ramps?

I imagine many matches weren't actually played with three per alliance, but did any teams get two robots up?

Were teams having a difficult time scoring with defense being played on them, or was it nice and easy to sling 'em up regardless?

How about scoring on the opposite side of the rack? Did it happen? Easily?

Were teams using the far side tubes, or entirely their own?

Grouping the past few questions, was there much cross-side mingling?

Did the rack swing like crazy?

Any cool auto-modes figured out yet? Was there anything?

How inflated did the tubes stay? Any tube carnage?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Any other interesting tidbits would be cool to hear about. I wanna know how this game flows! Thanks guys!

I'd check with SHSrobotics first. We were running it on a team laptop which may have recorded the stream. I'll check later.
