Team 1690 would like to thank teams 1678, 254, and 5026 for lending us batteries, and a special thanks to 971, for giving us not only batteries, but also tools, and for inviting us to their workshop.

Is there a place folks could compile photos from the event? (Of robots)

Fun to watch, as always! Enjoyed the RSN commentary and field-side interviews. Cool to see the game played at a high level.

Excited to be back in the neighborhood next year…

I don’t have pictures for everyone, but I hope this satisfies until someone with better pictures and a complete collection comes by.

Thanks 254 for an awesome event! So many great teams and robots to see and learn from. Access to your practice field during the event was a game-changer for our team’s autonomous mode development.

We were honored to compete with 2168, 1678, and 3374 and benefited from the leadership you provided to the alliance. Tx for the invite!

Some minor press about the event way out here on the East Coast. It was an exhausting “build season” for our small team – very taxing to our six veteran students – but so worth it in the end.

Thank you. We have a few experienced students and mentors. Plus, we could borrow strong design ideas since it was for an existing game.

Is there a plan to post individual match videos (like this one) on thebluealliance or similar?

15 posts were split to a new topic: [Split Topic] Archiving and Rehosting Event Streams

Hi All,

We have source-quality recordings from every match at the event. Francis and the RSN team have generously offered to handle the splitting and we expect that to be up in the next few days. These will be higher quality than screen captures from the Twitch stream and we’d ask that you wait for the originals before posting low-quality stream rips on TBA. If we have any trouble with the splitting we’ll definitely reach out to the community for help.

Thanks so much, everyone! We’re happy to hear that there’s so much community interest in viewing the exciting matches from CC2021!

Thank you again for the compliment. As I mentioned, it was very helpful to have designs to start with. The experienced students and mentors (myself included) are from another team in Georgia that just shut down, 4910. Six of our eight students are from that team. Our students worked tirelessly in my basement and garage for two months to build, program and test the machine we took to CC 2021. I’m glad we did because without the build mentors from the old team (I was only the programming mentor) we didn’t appreciate all the intricacies we had to learn to build an FRC robot, nor had we practiced pit work. Now we as a team have a much better understanding of the details we need to know to pull off our Rapid React season.
