Only one, but it’ll be a doozy.

Does anyone know what the yellow rectangular buttons many of the drive teams are wearing are?

You need them to get on Einstein, same with volunteers.

Can we turn off the purple lights under the scoreboards? Can’t see the screens… Or just point them down or up…

Okay, it didn’t look like they were all wearing them, but it makes sense there’d be something.

How many teams were in Einstein though? Probably not 32. Could still be a record just based on sheer quantity.

At least they aren’t strobes /s

Einstein didn’t exist…

And IIRC there were only 20-odd teams total, 2 in finals.

It was a corny game.

This Is not the worst, I saw a worse streaming quality once.

I just can’t remember when.

Maybe in my kindergarten
graduation event?

When was the last time a rookie made it to Einstein?

Why are teams stacking multiple game objects in one location on the grid after it has been filled? This seems to be no accident? Its not worth points is it?

Team Update 21 (released before Worlds) added “supercharged” nodes. After the grid is full, every node can have an additional game piece for 3pts per node.

Per my quick research, there are two instances, 6314 in 2017 and 5136 in 2014, where they made it but never actually touched the field. Last one to make it and touch the field was 4334 in 2012.

Does 1678 allow the wizard they have on payroll to contract out: I could use some of the luck they are having right now.

how did hopper get 42 charge station points in match 7?

edit: foul points from a red robot transitively touching the blue charge station, through 4096 (i think)
