[FTC]: FTC Championships Results

[Rick TYler]

Did I see the screen right -- there were no quarterfinals? Did they only select four alliances for eliminations in each division??? Were they 2-robot or 3-robot alliances?

I guess they were trying to move the event along.

What were the alliances?

I just caught the announcing of the winners and what happened? Who beat Power Surge? Who were those teams who won it/what did their robot look like? I guess all I can say at this point is wow! I'm sorry I missed it.

I know i cannot be much help... but what i saw was when they were explaining the alliance selection process... the first division had 4 alliances getting selected (i think). What i believe happened was that each devision had 2 semi finals, then a final and the winners of each moved on to a grand final. I would love to hear the results though because I didn't see anything after that.

The winning Alliance was:

679 Roboraiders,
2820 Longhorns (us YAY),
and 92 Jr. bomb squad

The same alliance that beat Power Surge .

Nice to see 679 come out on top. Good job to everyone.

Thanks! Do we know if FIRST is ever going to post the complete match results and final qualifying standings?

It would be nice if FIRST would include the real-time match updates that they give the FRC fields.

I forgot to say this in my last post,


I have to say a big thanks to 679, the captain, they were a great team

1) They blocked Power Surge for a minute, which is insane

2) This is even better, they were gracious enough to step off in the last two finals matches, because their auto was not working. Even though, they were captain. That takes a lot of courage.

I have to say that this alliance showed BRILLIANT tactics against an alliance with (arguably) superior robots. Amazing performance -- congratulations.

Would it be possible to get some pictures of robots or like..match videos?

Of course I've seen 679, but I'm really interested in the other two robots.

Here are some photos, I'll add the appropriately tagged ones after their approved.

2820 ....................... 92 ............. Both ........The whole Alliance




Hope you like them, I might get some video later.

Inspire went to Team 32, Einstein's Daughters. They really, truly deserved it - I've never seen an FTC team go that above and beyond with outreach.

While I can't speak for FIRST's plans to make the individual match results available, I imagine that post-match updating is on the "wish list" for the FTC scoring system. However, with the FTC program being managed to a large extent by the Affiliate Partners, and not FIRST HQ, the existence of a usable internet connection can not be guaranteed. I think, due to the different nature of the FTC program, the best we can hope for in a majority of cases is a post-event upload of all of the matches. In cases such as the championship in Atlanta, it would be possible to do a match by match upload. Of course, I have my own ideas as to how the match results upload could be improved upon, but that's for another discussion...

We still don't have the match results and qualifying ranking for Championships posted (that I can find). I also can't find the results of any of the regionals posted on the FIRST Website. FRC and Vex Robotics Competition results are both posted online, why isn't FTC? (Unless it is and I just haven't found it.) I'd be fine with having the results two or three days after an event, but I want them posted.
