If you haven't already, come by our pit and check out our Space Shuttle robot transporter. I wish I could post a pic but I don't have a camera with me.

Several groups at our school were involved in creating this award winning cart including drafting, the wood shop, and the collision repair shop.

Congrats you guys on winning the Imagery Award.

They're doing 10 matches per team with 6 minute turnarounds (not the usual 8 as in other regionals). They also set the # matches between rounds to a low number (4). We were in matches 8, 12, & 16 and never got to our pits between matches as they also have them queuing 4-deep. It's very hectic here, but tomorrow is going to be awesome. Some great scoring and the alliance picking won't be easy.

Tune in again tomorrow. Same Bat Time - Same Bat Channel.

Good luck Mannie & Rick. We are pulling for 832 & 1746 on the webcast. Dave

[rfolea]

Thanks Dave!

Are you recording any of the webcast?

Jeremy and Team SOUP are here supporting us too!

[dangerousdave]

Rick, No I am not. I guess I am not positive how to do it. The web cast Kbps varies from 180's - 310's so not ideal. I assume the video's will be up on Soap but I am not sure. Watched several of your matches yesterday. Stay out of that opponents home zone at the end of match though. Dave

[emmell]

Thanks Dave and also to Santosh and other CircuitRunners who have been IM-ing us all weekend. We love the support that we're getting from all of the Georgia (and other Peachtree) teams.

Two more matches today and then nail biting time for the alliance selection.

A double flip-flop now, oye. Went from a 10 point penalty on blue, to a 10 point on red, to a tie.

[Corey Balint]

In all seriousness now...if anyone is watching, I hate to moan about it...but the Head Ref didn't give one team any penalty, after they deployed their ramp in the first 5 seconds of the match (by accident) and then proceeded to use their ramp as a wedge to keep a team away from the rack. This changed the outcome of the match, because he gave two bogus penalties to the other alliance.

EDIT: They just changed the outcome of another match after posting the scores...swinging the match again.

Corey, they gave us (1626) two 10 pt penalties for being in the opposing alliance's home zone during the end game but we were on the other side of the field.

Yeah, Bill just called me...no one was near that side of the field...oye.

OK, Lets go alliance #2 & #7. Somebody bring it back to GA.
Bummer, one of these two will lose in the first round.

Also, Nice job Richland Co. Sheriff's Dept. Hung a tube on your first try ever!
Nice having 8 wheels also.

[Nawaid Ladak]

if one and 4 end up in the semi's against each other, then that WILL be some wild action

[santosh]

Uh oh, right off the bat it is the two visiting powerhouse monsters from Georgia.
Good luck to all teams but a special shout out to Alliance number 2 and 7. That is going to be a heck of a mtchup.
