Nats Alliances

There really wasn't one. Here's my understanding of what went on:
After the match (and after the final score was released) one out of four of the referees thought a blue tube hadn't been scored. They were unable to check their scoring PDAs because they apparently do not save the matches. They then decided to repeat the match based on that one opinion.

Keep in mind that no matter where the blue alliance's tube was, they would not have won that match.

To clearify some things on Curie:

1732 did ask both 330 and 1114 to join us, although they both told us they would decline. We knew we had no chance if 330 and 1114 were together, so we had to split them up.

For the 2nd finals match that was replayed. After the score was announced that the red alliance (1732, 67, and 48) won the match, and putting on our robots for the 3rd match, they announced that it didn't count to a field problem. So, the head ref told us that one of the refs questioned the score on the screen. They thought that blue had scored more tubes on the bottom and when the PDA tranferred the information to the screen, the score got screwed up. So, since the PDAs don't store the information and they couldn't go back at the video, the whole match needed to be replayed.

I know that we lost the next match and it would seem that it wouldn't had mattered, but it was huge. We had a ton of momentium after winning the 2nd match and we were already to win the 3rd match when we found out that it didn't count. So, after finding out we had to beat such an amazing alliance three times in a row, the whole alliance's moral sank.

Alliance 8 won Newton

[Corey Balint]

Einstein
Curie: 330, 910, 1270
Newton: 987, 190, 177
Galileo: 173, 1902, 1319
Archimedes: 233, 71, 179

Three 2 seeds and an 8 seed.
Only one alliance has a team that has yet to win Nationals...
I don't know who plays who, we'll have to find that out later.

[ScoutingNerd175]

Newton: 177
Galileo: 173
Archimedes: 179
Who will I cheer for? (I'd say that the streak of having a 17_ team on Einstein every year since '01 is still alive)

On the galileo field, I believe they said that Galileo plays Newton.
So it would be
173, 1902, 1319 (Galileo) vs 987, 190, 177 (Newton)
233, 71, 179 (Archimedes) vs 330, 910, 1270 (Curie)

I can help but someone has to tell me what channel NASA TV is for comcast. My computer has dialup and the webcast doesn't requires a little more that 40 kb/s. And for the life of me I can't find the channel.

Archimedes
1. 494 254 997
2. 233 71 179
3. 1302 27 223
4. 386 85 107
5. 1824 175 1153
6. 293 100 2062
7. 1516 264 1501
8. 1533 47 768

didn't see that it was already up there

[Tottanka]

Einstein:

Curie : 1114 - 469 - 1523
Galileo: 1425 - 25 - 488
Newton: 1574 - 148 - 1102
Archimedes: 233 - 71 - 179

and from here on its all up to strategy

Did anyone WATCH the picks on Curie? Was there some sort of crazy haze in the air or something?

I am not taking anything away from the teams drafted but seriously, how did 1114 get 469 on the 5th pick? Did #5 seed, 1114 get drafted and turn them down?

I don't understand it.

469 has not been doing very well this weekend.
1114 has been only above average, not at their normal level.
Curie feed was lost dugin alliance selections, so I dont know what happened besides that.

[xzvrw2]

1114 must have turned people down....its 1114 even if they are not at their best...they are still freaking awesome.

[Ian Curtis]

Is it just me, or are these matches turning out to be really close? Matches I would expect a blow out, I'm seeing the higher seed only eek out a win, or lose. Weird, but very exciting none the less.

[SSMike]

Einstein:
Galileo:1126, 229, 191
Curie:1114, 469, 1523
Newton:68-111-2068
Arch:494, 254, 997

Winner: Rochester Robotics Rebels (Sorry I had to say it), 1126, 229, 1126(Galileo)

Probably totally wrong but we'll see

I was hoping 1305 would pick 1114 and then a rampbot...
