SCRRF Fall Classic

[AdamHeard]

The Fall Classic was amaing.

We didn't have very many teams, so we did 2v2 matches which actually made he game more exciting.

Team 968 and 1138 won overall, with two very impressive scores; 96 the first round and 126 the second round. They ended up beating 330 and 599 (who seemed to be having some radio or control problems) for the win.


Thanks to all the teams that let us borrow parts; For some reason everything, and I mean everything, on our robot found a way to break. We even managed to grind the gears inside of the KOP transmissions.

Team 294 didn't do so well, but it was an awesome event overall. I hope to see some of the same teams at the 2007 SCRRF pre-ship scrimmage, wherever it may be.

Unless I heard wrong, 126 was our alliance score without the additional ramp points. We pinned down an extra robot onto the platform which gave us 25 extra points. shouldn't it be 151?

p.s. Sorry if I'm horribly wrong

Cheers!

151. That is correct indeed.

It was a great event. Special thanks to Ken Leung for coming down all the way from up north, Joseph Vanderway, Chris H, George Chen, and everyone else who helped make this great event possible!

All you teams who weren't there, you guys seruiously missed out. This event was an absolute blast! The field became a dodgeball court during lunch. Those boyscouts are quick I tell you!

[kiettyyyy]

Indeed. This event was GREAT! Without the help of other teams that participated in this event, it might have not even gotten off the ground! Congratulations to all teams that participated and assisted in the event!

Cheers!

Congratulations team 968 and 1138!! You guys made an amazing alliance.

haha, it was great. glad to know my planning came together well. I had a blast. We are running the Vex tournement on December 16th, so im hoping we will do a good job there. Congrats to the winners, RAWC and Eagle, and thanks Beach Bots again, radio was just wierd during those finals matches. Thanks a lot to all the teams that helped set up and take down the field, especially RAWC who was there friday-sunday fixing and taking the field down. Lets hope Fall Classic continues, and that teams come together and pitch in more. I missed dodgeball, im a little mad about that, but i needed food and i walked to Del Taco. lol. great time, and hope you all had fun. I think it was a success, yet i planned the thing. ahahah. got to get back to english class. bye and thanks again.

yeah, dodgeball was awesome. i was bored , with like 30 minutes to kill, so i made and unofficial announcement that there would be a dodgeball game on the field. i orchestrated the whole thing and was a little dissapointed at first cuz there were like 5 FIRSTers against like 15 or 20 boy scouts, then a few more came in. the last match, before alliance pickings, there had to have been at least 50 people on the field at once. once i yelled go, all heck broke loose. and i had to do one more game with the alliance captains so i did. we slowly went for the balls, and separates to the 2 sides of the field, and started to pelt balls. then Mr van was like "this is an interesting way to pick alliances." oh well, it was fun too. hope you guys had a blast, i know i did. hope to see you all there next year.

ps. does anyone have a footage of the dodgeball games?

Congrats to RAWC and Eagle and Beach Bots and RoboDox........that must've been an awesome set of matches. By the way, which third robot was pinned onto the ramp?

[jackie Ha]

it was 330 that was pinned on the ramp. 1138 had pushed them up there and kept them there. then we got on the ramp and pushed againg 1138 who was pushing on 330. it was an awesome match, thanks to 330 and 599 for making it happen and 1138 for making a great alliance partner.

[DanDon]

Just wondering, is this a repetition of a regional finals matchup?

[jackie Ha]

it looked like it, the only difference was that there wasn't a 20 minute pause for a tied score and no one did the hokie-pokie. can anyone else say deja-vu.

Hey everyone,
Glad you all enjoyed the Fall Classic. As always, we're open to suggestions for what would make it better in the future, and of course, if you want to help out, we're always open to that. For those who don't know me, I'm George Chen, I was the scorekeeper/match generator (or the friendly guy in a purple hawaiian shirt). I want to personally thank Terry and Mike from 1759 for an AWESOME field control system that worked absolutely flawlessly. Also thanks to all the kids on 4 and 599 for helping out on the field, Marni from 599 for helping me organize matches, especially when the printer failed. Thanks to everyone who came, and please spread the word, I look forward to larger competitions in the future

Thanks to SCRRF for organizing and hosting it with 599. It was a fun offseason competition to meet the other teams in the area for a little competition and fun. Besides the field which we umm...sort of destroyed during our autonomous mode, the only thing that we really thought needed improvement was the scoring, because we noticed the boy scouts were watching the game instead of doing their job, but they got better as the day went on so it wasn't that much of a problem.
Thanks again to everyone who threw it and volunteered, SCRRF, 599, and 4, you guys did an awesome job.

hey, quick question, does anyone have any footage of the fall classic's matches, semi finals, finals, mini games, dodgeball, or mentor round, anything? i'd just like to know, to see if i can get a copy of it or something. also if anyone has a picture of the high score that we got in the last match of the finals, 151 pts, i'd like to get a copy of that too. thanks.
