With GTR West less than a week away, I figured it was about time to get this thread started. Good luck to all teams competing, and I’ll see you there
Finally a thread! lmao Team 772 finished packing the trailer today and are ready to compete this weekend against some of the best FRC teams in FIRST!
Does anyone know if Karthik is the MC?
can’t wait to get up there.
Is anyone else having the issue of bringing up gr.10’s late because of the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test on Thursday?
I think all of the ontario teams are in the same boat. Lucky its the practice day, huh?
ya, thank god. Last year me and the other driver had to travel the 4 hours to Toronto to start practicing, after writing our test… that was soo fun -.-
You’d think the Government that Sponsors/supports FIRST would plan it on another day… even Wednesday instead.
Haha that would be nice.
I guess I will see you thursday. Feel free to stick your head in our pit anytime and say hi.
CONGRATZ on your regional win by the way. You are only 1 of 4 teams coming to west with a 2012 win under their belts, and the only one who wasn’t on the same alliance as each other. =D
I’ll probably be pretty busy to go around, but if u wanted u can come to ours 
And thanks! 
We were sooo happy to finally get that regional win! First time ever! We are also the Only team coming into GTR West Undefeated :D! Lets see if we come out with that too :o
Not if I can help it =P
Well that was a fun first day… Field was absolutely terrible for a while until Karthik found out what was wrong 
Thanks Karthik! (if it was actually someone else who discovered the problem THANKS!)
We were having a difficult time getting used to the changes we made. But i think we are all good. Just finishing up the autonomous tomorrow, and we are all good 
Good luck to everyone else :D!
anyone know where I can watch the videos for the matches today?
try “watchfirstnow.com” (or look up “watch FIRST now”)
Lol. it is the one that lags the least, so you will probably get the best video.
WHO ELSE HAD A REALLY BAD DAY!?
i’ll make a list of everything that went wrong for us:
- Kept getting disconnected from C-Rio (swapped out C-Rio to new type)
- Blew Victor on Shooter…
- Jamming Poly-Cord
- Poly-Cord traveling on rollers
- Balls kept jamming because of Poly-Cord problems
- Blew feeder fuses
- I think im missing some stuff -.-
No longer are an undefeated team, but oh well… 
If anyone ask’s its Karthiks fault 
lol
His “closing time” song yesterday in the pits made the robots angry and they have decided not to cooperate (coopertate?).
But seriously, I’m sure you will be able to pull together tomorrow. Just keep at it. If you need any help or tools or anything, feel free to ask
lol thanks I hope we can, or we are doomed. Everything should be good, but i dont know…
Thanks for the offer, but we have everything we need just need to get it all to work
Good luck tomorrow
Aha ok thanks. And good luck to you!
Aaron:
I could see that you folks were not having a good day and I feel for you. We’ve been there many times too.
Hopefully, things will come together for your team tomorrow.
Any help needed, just ask.
Thanks 
after our second loss i just didn’t care that much, wasn’t gonna let the losses bother me and just improve the bot for champs and Queen City. I’m with the team right now… they are painting my other drivers toe nails lol shakes head
And do u have any advice for Poly-Cord? our poly cord has been the biggest problem. and im thinking we need to take some out. we have way to many pieces IMO.
Thanks guys
Whats wrong with your poly cord? Does it keep breaking? What kind of poly cord did you get? How did you connect the ends?
We are using yellow Polycord from Mccmaster-Carr (hollow). and using the metal connectors. which we were told that that was our problem. but then it also travels. it hasn’t broken.
Something is wonky in the scoring system about Q62.
The 6 teams in Q62 do not show a win or loss for that match, despite the match results showing blue alliance winning, 18-0.
Anybody know whats going on here? Its having a big impact on the top of the standings because 1241 is showing as 8th when they should be 5th or 3rd depending on if that match had a coop bridge.
This happened in another match, I will talk to the FTA tomorrow and try and get it solved.
