Double digits!

217, 145 and 1559 just scored 11 in Q45

I haven't watched any of the webcast but I see 217 has 4 hanging points. I assume this is the finale bonus? If so, did they put their hanger back on or climb on a ramp-bot?

They've just had some hanging partners:

Oh, that makes sense. It also explains why so many teams have hanging points.

The Hanging Mechanism is still not on 217. Unless their hiding in the pits now (I was one of the last people out of the pits and it was still empty). FLR has been good so far and can't wait to see how tomorrow plays out for all of us. Good Luck to Everyone.

Qualifications are really fun. Other then the first issue and the last issue, I'd say the entire day went swimmingly.

It is anybody's game. This year's eliminations are going to be the most unpredictable. Even the best alliances can be defeated by good blocking or a bad start to the game. Every second you waste trying to get balls into the goals, the less time you score the second. And it's your next score thats so important.

A lot of penalties. Tons of robots were getting the ball stuck under them. Even our robot, which was designed to never have that happen, got a couple under in one match when we tried to score along the side wall.
The seeding system is also a little wonky. I know of at least one team that's ahead of us in the rankings, but has only 1 win. They were blown out by so many teams, they had a higher seeding score than others.

[Josh Goodman]

The most common penalty at FLR today was in fact G46 - Ball Penetration. As well as G30s for exceeding the frame perimeter for more than two seconds. Teams have been getting penalties and cards left and right for very simple things written plainly in the manual that shouldn't be a problem. I know it may seem redundant...but MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE RULES!!

[DarkFlame145]

Penalties have been very common this year, kinda like in 08

Is it just me or does the webcast look like it's being fed from a security camery??

Fun outcome in match 63... someone finally pulled off a six vs zero match.

Match 63
Red final: 0
Blue final: 11

Red seeding points: 12 (blue had a penalty)
Blue seeding points: 11

same thing for me... only tuning in during the matches I really want to see. Kansas has a beautiful feed.

[Jay Trzaskos]

To all who saw match 63, great match from the alliance of 191, 229, 250, 1511, 3173, & 3181. What a great way to incorporate the weakness of the seeding into a legitimate strategy that helps all teams involved.


Thanks again to all teams involved in the ultimate co-operation match

I thought last year was the tribute to the moon landing. It feels like we're watching Neil Armstrong take his first steps out there

[DarkFlame145]

what happened to the color on the webcast?
