For the hearing impaired, is there a version somewhere with less compression of the audio?

Woohoo!! I finally get to see this presentation with my own eyes
Now hopefully one of these days I can see it in person.

Thanks to Karthik and 1114 for making this video available! It's not a wonder at all why 1114 is the newest inductee into the FIRST Hall of Fame!

Is anybody else gonna be copying the Sim Bucks idea? I LOVE IT!

Karthik, in the beginning of the presentation (the slide with Beatty 2002) there's two numbers, I think 133 and 134 referencing something in 2011 that you said would be brought up later in the presentation that never were. What are those two numbers?

Probably unbeatable scores.

The two hours I find to watch this will be the greatest two hours of my life.

If you could guarantee yourself 1st and 2nd place in the Minibot race in 2011, the most points your opponent could score was 133; 108 for a perfect rack, 25 for the 3rd and 4th minibots. So you needed 134 to guarantee a win, 84 on the rack plus the 50 you've got with your 1st and 2nd minibots. 84 points on the rack was 3 Ubertubes, two logos up top and one logo mid.

Wohoo, I know what I'm going to do tonight. Staying up, grabbing a notebook, and studying this video.

And of course when I decide to watch it the sound on my computer just plain isn't working...

Went to the presentation, just watched it again. Just so much great information for teams at any level of FRC.

No one is too good to learn something from this presentation. I bet even 1114 learns something from it, by just reminding themselves what has made them so successful.

After watching this presentation we implemented some currency for gambling between our scouts. I'm not sure it's the best thing for the wildness of championship but definitely has it's place on the regional level where there is tons of times between matches and matches can be pretty boring.

We will deffinetly be implementing some form of sim bucks next year. Any chance we can get a more detailed description of how the bucks are used? Per say do you bet on alliances or teams or scores...etc.

All of the above. As long as it's something quantitative to do with the match. The key is get/keep people interested in watching and analyzing what's happening on the field.

Thanks man. Sometimes our kids really struggle with strategy I think this will really help them out.
