FIRSTcast: Season 4 Episode 12 - Pin Cushions

[Greg Peshek]

I'm not sure if anyone actually is going to read this thread for content anyway.. but I'll make a quick comment on something in the audio.

The team at Florida that touched the controls in the quarters as the 1st seeded alliance, yeah that was us. Now it wasn't that we didn't know about the coach button rule, or anything of that nature, it was because our robot just wasn't moving. We were all trying different things to try to get it to work, and our coach jumped in to check the ethernet cable because he figured that a small penalty was better than us not moving the entire match.

That didn't fix the problem and we sat still getting dumped on the rest of the match. Anyway, the penalty didn't affect the outcome of the match. We're still not sure what happened, our robot magically worked directly after that match when we tried it tethered.. and the momentary cutouts happened to our entire alliance all three quarter final matches. Anyway.. I won't air any of our grievances on that note, just wanted to make a quick comment on the coach thing. If anyone really cares.
