VCU NASA Regional

[Collmandoman]

Match 1 0-0
Match 2 8-0 539 alliance won
Match 3 I dunno-- some alliance was disqualified bc mentor touched controls
Match 4 7-5 No penalties Red alliance won

Match 6 6-4 red alliance win
Match 7 0-12 blue alliance 30 points of penalty
Match 8 26-3 no penalties
Match 9 54-0 10 point penalty on blue.. but they had 0 anyway * look out for those red teams in match 9*
ok I'm off to class if anyone wants to continue this

* note * if you are at VCU tell your team to just get behind the line and win =)
* the feed is 3 minutes behind *
* If you don't know FIRST, I don't know how you can be enjoying yourself in the stand right now - the play is awful -- penalties + many robots running intereference on robots that havbe unreliable capping mechanisms -- and absolutly no auto (although in the first match some team started to pick the tetra up but only had 2 seconds left)
** feed is synched now**

There was an amazing match on the webcast..

Near the end of a match, one team was pushed into the player station and flipped over. Both of their alliaces got back into the end zone, and the flipped team used their powerful arm to push themselves up enough so that they were in the end zone. They didnt get back upright, but ended the match resting on the side of the chassis and the arm, in a sort of triangular form. Im not sure who the team was, but if you do please post it. Amazing Job..

And oh yes this game is proving to be more exciting than I thought it could ever be.

64-0? Not many ranking points

Is it just me or is the field announcer harassing the teams? He seems to be in a big rush. While I understand the need to keep things on time, that's not the field announcer's job; it's the pit announcers'. Are a lot of field announcers like this year's @ VCU?

I've noticed this too and I don't care for it. It's very repetitive and annoying for the audience to hear him constantly nagging people about it. If he wants to harass the teams each and every match to speed things up he could at least turn off the mike and spare the rest of us...

well last year there was alot more things happening with the small balls, the 2x large balls, hanging... there was just som many things happening were this year you look at all the robots and many look the same. like were as last year there were so many different deigns because of the many different ways to score.

By the rankings on the webcast, it seems as if the #1 seed got 9 matches while the rest of the teams got 8 matches. I was expecting at least one or two more matches overall, but it is a big regional.
