Re: FTC World Championships

wouldn't they have all the cyrstals from every event down in atlanta for the reason of lots of matches unless they bring the same crystals from each event to the next event. Also i am wondering if their is 2 division do the wining alliance from each division go on to the finals between those two alliances?

Re: FTC World Championships

The two winning alliances will face off for an overall winner I believe.

Re: FTC World Championships

I can take a stab at answering some of these questions, but please remember that everything is always subject to change!

The team list is incomplete because we still have events running. The division list is incomplete for the same reason. We're expecting 100 Quad Quandary teams (50 per division) plus 12 showcase teams.

We're playing in 2 divisions, Edison and Franklin, with division winners going head to head in a final match (so alliance selections for Edison teams will be among Edison teams only, etc). Division selections will be random and teams may not select the division they will play in.

We're hoping each team can get in 2 practice matches and 7 competition matches. We've put together an awesome set of volunteers and our goal is to keep on schedule as much as possible so teams get the chance to compete as much as we can fit in to the schedule!

Our new platform will debut in the Showcase Competition which is going to be held in the pit area on Thursday! Check it out!

The Public Agenda was posted on the FIRST website, and of course, is subject to change, but will give you an idea of all the stuff that's happening in Atlanta while we are there. Note that we have an awards ceremony on both afternoons now so plan to stay for it. Awards go to the division finalists, the finalist alliance and the winning alliance. Showcase teams will also win a finalist and winning alliance award. Judged awards are not per division (one Inspire winner, one Think winner, etc).

As you can see on the agenda, we're open on Wed afternoon for early team check-in and inspection. Save some time on Thursday and get it out of the way on Wed if you are already in Atlanta! We'd like everyone to be in the Dome for the final matches on Friday, plus to see the final matches of the Showcase, followed by Closing Ceremonies. Our pits will close early on Friday, but will be open on Sat morning for a couple of hours for those who still need to pack up. Plan accordingly.

Also note the FIRST Conference sessions - you may find them to be helpful to register for and attend. And plan to visit the Scholarship college tables - many of the Scholarships are being offered to FTC students as well as FRC students.

I hope that answers some of your questions...

Re: FTC World Championships

The results have already been sent to the teams that got in. Unfortunately if you have not been told yet I expect you did not get a lottery ticket.

Re: FTC World Championships

To answer the crystal question. The total set of Vex Crystals (publicly available and competition set) is 30. 20 are part of the competition set. FIRST does own multiple crystals sets but the crystal process (being shaken down at NYC this weekend) will still be the bottleneck.

Experience shows that the publically available crystals really cannot be used because there is too much chance of interference when someone turns on a robot somewhere else with that crystal. For the same reason, I'd expect the teams will only receive the transmitter crystals at the last moment so that it is not possible to transmit on the competition frequencies accidentally. Unfortunately this is what we believe caused issues last year. No intentional malice on the teams part, but robots being turned on with crystals that were in use disrupting the templates and causing problems on the field. The goal is to minimize that this year.

Re: FTC World Championships

I just wanted to welcome our partner schools in Singapore to the FTC Championship. I am not sure what team number that they registered with but they will be there. We are very excited for them and can't wait to see them in Atlanta.

Oh just something funny about your comment. We are team number 74 and Delphi is team 47 so we are the invert of Delphi's team number.
