Nats Alliances

[XaulZan11]

To clearify some things on Curie:

1732 did ask both 330 and 1114 to join us, although they both told us they would decline. We knew we had no chance if 330 and 1114 were together, so we had to split them up.

For the 2nd finals match that was replayed. After the score was announced that the red alliance (1732, 67, and 48) won the match, and putting on our robots for the 3rd match, they announced that it didn't count to a field problem. So, the head ref told us that one of the refs questioned the score on the screen. They thought that blue had scored more tubes on the bottom and when the PDA tranferred the information to the screen, the score got screwed up. So, since the PDAs don't store the information and they couldn't go back at the video, the whole match needed to be replayed.

I know that we lost the next match and it would seem that it wouldn't had mattered, but it was huge. We had a ton of momentium after winning the 2nd match and we were already to win the 3rd match when we found out that it didn't count. So, after finding out we had to beat such an amazing alliance three times in a row, the whole alliance's moral sank.
