a finalist alliance asked the timeout, 2 minutes to the 2nd match

It's not always easy to understand why penalties were called, even when you are right beside the field. Often, the referees will talk about any controversial penalties at the end of the match to make sure they all agree on the infraction. But the game announcer might not explain the penalty very well.

It's a very tough game. The robots can take only so much abuse before something fails. But all of the teams are winners, maybe just not the champions today.

THANK YOU very much for providing the updates.

Are you actually in Brasil right now? (If so, I think it's funny that you are describing an event that's much closer to me than to you - the marvels of modern technology!)

I would be thrilled if the referees took the time to tell the teams receiving the penalties how, why and when the penalty was assessed.

Thrilled.

I just got home from the LSR and had a fantastic time. Congratulations to ALL of the teams! Team 1480 fought gremlins all day on Friday with our arm, but did well Saturday morning. Unfortunately a little to late, but the kids learned a lot and were VERY proud that they finally got their robot working.

Elimination rounds were incredible. And the defense was intense. The pit crews for some of the robots were kept very busy between rounds (118!) keeping their machines running. By the finals teams were scrambling for fresh batteries in those no holds barred matches.

Way to go!

Mateus, thank you very much for the play-by-play during eliminations.

Does anyone have the list of awards? The FIRST website still doesn't have ANYTHING!

you're welcome...

i haven't and i still trying to discover something about that list... =/

[Kevin Sevcik]

I recall a partial list.

Sportsmanship - 57
Engineering Inspiration - 118
Chairman's - 922
Industrial Design - 148
Motorola Quality - 476
Team Spirit - 462
Safety - 476

Sorry, that's all I can remember at the moment. Tooootally wiped out from the finals and losing two such close matches on a robot getting pushed into non-workingness.

it was a really great pitty... i would really like to see all teams of your alliance competing in atlanta chiefly 1772... i can't believe their bot stoped to work, you would win...

by the way what has happened??

[Kevin Sevcik]

1772 was getting defended pretty hard by 1745. In the 2nd match, 1745 pushed them hard enough to make 1772's treads slip off a pulley and catch inside their robot, so they couldn't move. In the 3rd match, the same happened, only 1745 completely bent up 1772's arm as well. So I think 1772 would have had a rough time at nationals with their arm bent like that.

Wow, sounds like some heavy D. Did 1745 get any penalty for damaging 1772's arm?

Oh yeah, thanks for the info on the award Kevin!

[Kevin Sevcik]

Heh. No, they didn't. We lost that match by 2 points, So I'd be taking a slightly different tone if they had been penalized. I'll be parsing the video I recorded and uploading it to SOAP soon, so everyone can see what happened and where the awards went.

As for why none of it was posted, I here it was a communication SNAFU, and an ISDN line was ordered instead of an ethernet line, so there was no way of connecting to the internet at the regional

yeah i saw the defense... and untill now i can't understand how they (1745) didn't get a penalty.... at least in the third match... they(1745) rammed 1772... when their(1772) arm broke
