Not to mention the constant replay of quarter final matches.
They finally narrowed down what they though the field problem was to static build-up. To fix it, they taped the airlocks so that robot frames or members couldn't come in contact with them to conduct, and they watered the field.
Yes, they wet the carpet around the regolith to aid in the static problem. I think this is as close as we'll come to getting that water game we've been waiting for.

They also watered down the carpet at the operator's stations.

Congrats to 121, 175, and 2621 it was a well deserved win. And thanks for 40 and 885 for being such great alliance partners. I agree though, this regional was very poorly run. In my mind there was no excuse for that mistake with the team rankings and it is unbelievable that they had to redo the alliance selections. It is hard to believe that they would give teams the opportunity to go to the elimination rounds and then take it away 30 minutes later.
