That column includes both regular and foul points, not just raw teleop.

This is a sum score. It does not necessarily indicate the number of points your team scored in the qualifications as it is derived from alliance scores, vaguely similar to the way OPR works (very vaguely). It's generally a decent estimate though, so that many teleop points is quite an achievement.

First of all, this is a high school robotics competition.

Second of all, team 16 has enough blue banners.

Third of all, team 16 has won the championship before and they are a hall of fame team.

... I dont think they care much if they dont win one regional.

Everyone knows who Baxter Bomb Squad is and if you don't, you simply dont know their characteristics and their involvement in our community.

... Oh and if you did, you would never publicly attack the Novaks.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional

I do realize this is a high school robotics competition, however I have been asked to donate a substantial amount of money to a team. In return they would display my organization's logo as a representative of my organization. I do not take this lightly. I am now getting a much different picture of what this is all about, both from the weekend's competition and more so from this website.

If you're going to act like this and lay out ridiculous accusations, no one wants your money.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional

Funny, I have been approached by 3 "teams" this year. They are all quite eager to take my money. Two of them virtually begged.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional

Alright, that's enough.

Someone on the mod team should lock this thread, as there's nothing else that can be said that will be productive.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional

I don't post much but I would like to set the record straight. Someone back in the thread finally alluded to the real purpose of the FIRST experience in inspiring students to work hard at accomplishing what they set out to do. I try to get our team to understand that all we can do is try to look like we could win but winning includes luck and circumstance beyond our control. Last year, two penalty calls that were clearly questionable on video eliminated us from the Championship. We pleaded our case and walked away. Same thing happened in 2011. The most competitive person on our team is the drive coach. When I met him on the way back to the pits his first words were "I didn't want to win like that." We know that the scores wouldn't have been close if our Autonomous systems were working well and that will be our focus.
After 19 years, the winning and losing takes care of itself. My goal is to never be the team that someone wonders how we got there.
The choices are to play down to the competition or try to help the competition get better. We think the latter is the right choice and actively try to do that.
There is a thread on this forum every year of "best teams that have never won." The community is sophisticated enough to know who is doing the things that inspire youth to the next level.
Sure, the rules and amatur refs make the outcome less than perfect but there is so much more to the program that just can't be compared to sports.
We have struggled to get Arkansas companies to recognize that this is where they should be looking for their workforce. We had barely enough funding for this year and right now we have virtually no funding to do it again. If your goal is to make sure it goes away I'm sorry. Many of our teams can't raise the funds to travel out of state and stay in hotels so they can't survive without a local event.
Maybe your money would best be spent hiring professional referees for all events so no collusion could be possible. I hope you come to the conclusion that the competition is not the main product of FIRST and that the students that come through the program are able to handle the real world better than we can.

Everyone take a breath, lets not let one person who we don't know tarnish the reputation of people who we do. Thanks to everyone who responded maturely and let your GP shine. Don't forget to keep being excellent to each other.
