I just missed the announcement about why they're replaying two of the QF matches. Something about a technical problem. Does anyone have the full story?

[Luckyfish05]

In my cutting in and out webcast, I believe that I heard them say something about the radios not working correctly.

[Bongle]

Intermittent radio problems are affecting both alliances. They decided to continue, and told teams to just assume that it is part of the conditions to play under, since it (apparently) affects everyone fairly.

They also made an announcement to not bury your radio in your robot.

I'm thinking it's pretty funny that 342, 79, and 1027 all have blue bumpers and trim despite being on the red alliance.

[Luckyfish05]

Yuck I would not want to be playing under those conditions. It's very frustrating. Bongle, we've got two red shades (pink is just red with white in it) on the blue alliance. It's all just kinda ironic, I think they should just switch sides so we know what alliance they are on and we don't have to use the flags anymore.

[Dan Petrovic]

This is interesting.

I'm watching the webcast and I see all of the teams going straight for the top two rows. At GSR, everyone was fighting for the bottom row.

It's amazing how much strategies differ between regions.

Team 86 has a very reliable ramp/lift mechanism. It looks to be easy to climb, and lifts every time.

[Jonathan Norris]

180's ramp is massive...

i bet who ever wins between 1902 179 108 and 233 180 1889 wins the finals, those alliances are just too strong.

[Nuttyman54]

these are definitely some of the best matches I've seen this year. Great job teams!

Finals: 108 179 1902 v 1251 86 1270

That last semi final match was really close, with the #2 alliance pulling out the win 10-8 over 233, 180 and 1889.

EDIT: The 1902, 179, 386 [replacement for 108] alliance just won the first match 16-4.

Also does anyone know why the number four alliance is red instead of blue? I always thought that the higher seeded alliance was red...

In the quarterfinals and semifinals that's the case. But in the finals the left side of the ladder gets the red side, and the right side of the bracket gets the blue side.

Good job to everyone, and congratulations to 1270, 86 and 1251

That was a really close final match, I enjoyed watching it.

Good job tech tigers

[KatiePendock]

Wow! What an amazing end! Congrats to 1270, 86, and 1251!

Congrats to all the winners of various things at the awards ceremony, too ^_^

[BoyWithCape195]

I think the winning alliance took everyone by surprise!

[PandaMan]

Congratulation to 1270 - 86 - 1251! You guys played some amazing matches. (Gotta love 86's ramp)
