Brian Lucas is the coolest person ever 
Wait until you see what I’m wearing tomorrow 
Good luck everyone, and GOOD NIGHT!
is there going to be a webcast of this regional? … since i am unable to attend with my team due to college things 
We may be up shortly. Just waiting for the call from NASA, wow I have always wanted to say that
do it! while your calling NASA tell them to fix the VCU feed as well.
Does anyone have any updates with how the practice rounds are going? :yikes:
As far as I know, I heard that everything was going great!!!
—I miss being at competition today!!!
Indeed I do. You can check them out here:

We are beta-testing our webcast feed for tommorow. Please post any issues you have in this thread or PM me.
Things went great today. It was a lot of fun. I can’t wait for tomorrow. Im home early because my team left with the bus at 4:15. Our robot did really well too:)
Hey-- Can you record that stream friday and saturday, then send it to SOAP?
I’m already recording it at the request of The Blue Alliance, and I can easily send it to SOAP.
in one of the last practice matches i watched 25, all alone for the blue alliance, dominating the match. they scored 5 tubes on the highest rack. they were going for their 6th but it fell off as the match ended. not sure if they were all in a row but they one the match 64-0.
So everyone, after one day of the regional, who are your top 8 teams?
after seeing a day of action (or well half a day at least, I had class this morning ) heres some things that caught me by surprise…
-
the tubes are that easy to get on the rack, takes time and precision
-
not too many working autonomous programs yet, maybe people are hiding them, but still, not many even with all that talk about getting the cmu cam working
-
It takes alot longer than expected to climb a ramp
-
75% of the teams there have ramps!:eek:
Sooo, all in all, the game reminded me alot of two years ago… the first day of the comp in 2005 was rather slow and it seemed like the tetras just werent a great idea for a game… but it turned out to be my favorite of them all.
Some top teams (that I saw);
25, 375, 75 looked promising, I didnt see too much tho being in the pit most of the time
Any robot pictures from today’s competition?
From what I saw on the webcast, 25 and 237 look pretty good.
I feel like 25s arm is going to snap off though! It wobbles ALOT…
I’ll snag some pics and video tomorrow. I’ve got equipment on loan from AGHS
Look for the pale kid in the backwards fire helmet, yelling loudly.
237 scored a keeper at 2:41PM today.
We tweaked the autonomous a little bit and are expecting a LOT better results tomorrow.
heh, maybe the reason it wobbles is to keep it from snapping off
They weren’t all alone, but pretty close to it. Our human player was throwing tubes onto the field while our robot was still in the pit.
Will the quality be any better tomorrow? It may have just been the distance of the camera from the field, but I was on a NASA computer and the picture quality was pretty poor, so I know it wasn’t a connection issue.
