<Guest 14> Oh, awk
<Guest 14> Why doesn't my screen say that?
<schreiaj> no idea
<ahill1625> those rules suck
<Guest 11> a ref told my team that the way we were playing deffince was illegal. all i was doing as the driver was pushing a robot so it couldnt get a ball.
<Guest 11> there was no contact with any game eliments
<Guest 14> BAE and NJ, yeah. I remember in 2010 the rules were weird

<Guest 14> because a ball went into the stands...
<Guest 14> NJ final
<thefro526> Did it go into the stand?
<thefro526> I thought it just disappeared
<BrendanB> Scrimmage they made you touch to count
<Guest 14> I thought a TU changed it from touching to lane-breaking
<Guest 14> It went under a cloth barrier
<Guest 14> i know they got it back
<Guest 14> but it was funny in a stupid way
<Guest 14> BUMPER RULES
<ahill1625> that is such a stupid rule
<BrendanB> So glad we don't have a gap!
<JacobP79> It was pretty tough
nicole175 has left the chat
<XaulZan11> split bumpers is bad, having your number in 5 places is crazy
<BrendanB> The sad fact is that they didn't read that in the rules
<XaulZan11> Wasn't the bumper number in 5 places only announced through Q&A?
<Guest 14> Yes, I totally forgot the part in the rulebook where it explicitly stated "teams may not display their number more than four times on the robot"
<Guest 14> Maybe I should have picked it up the fourth or fifth time i went through the book
<BrendanB> more than four isn't a huge issue. but the split numbers are the biggest offense
<XaulZan11> they have posted a pic of it in the bag on their FB page
<Guest 14> Fewer teams will have problems with 5 numbers than split ones
<JacobP79> yep
<XaulZan11> KC actually has a pretty good team list this year
<BrendanB> I'll probably bring a few rolls of blue and red gaffers tape to GSR for kicks so we can advertise that to teams on thursday! :P
<Laaba80> no, we beat them 1 match in the semi finals

<Baselthe2nd> At a low level.. boring
<Meredith16> GKC wasn't boring at all in Quals. Very few 0 matches - all the robots showed up right out of the box and played well. It was impressive.
<GCentola1126> and the bridges are a great end to the match

<XaulZan11> KC was surprisingly very competitive and deep

<GCentola1126> it acts as a anchor for lower tier teams
<IndySam> we always do that anyway
<GCentola1126> “oh, we are gonna lose? lets balance the C-Bridge”

<GCentola1126> absolutely. I was wondering the other day, what will einstein look like? Each team scores 6/6 in Hybrid and then triple balances?

<schreiaj> Einstein’s champion will score more than 6
<schreiaj> (this is dustin btw)
<GCentola1126> fair point.

<MarcS> They need to pause the game in between hybrid and teleop.

<schreiaj> Marc, good point

<Hallry1676> could they do that? when was the last time they did, 2008?
<schreiaj> it’s been done a bunch
<schreiaj> it’s not a big deal
<GCentola1126> yes
<JacobP79> Basically every year before 09 they paused the game

<GCentola1126> the balls need to be on the field to score.

<GCentola1126> You could keep the 2 balls safe on the alliance bridge, but we ended up tipping them to get the balls.

<schreiaj> wierd score
<schreiaj> in elims
<Hallry1676> are there any pics of 217?
<schreiaj> Don’t know of any public
<Hallry1676> okay
<jwfoss> wpi didn’t look that much better than week 1 either
<george1884> at wpi the quality of shooters was pretty low/inconsistent
<patpat829> Is there 217 shooter? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150557724451441
<patpat829> this*
<Hallry1676> yep =)
<jwfoss> fling-a-pult?
<jwfoss> interesting
<patpat829> If thats there shooter. Then it’s very consistent and an amazing shooter. I know we are using that.
<IndySam> that’s 3940 292 and our shooter!
<JacobP79> Where are the mar standings?
<Hallry1676> they havent released the updated week 2 standings, but week 1 standings are here: http://www.midatlanticrobotics.com/mar-2012-district-event-rankings/

<GCentola1126> we were no powerhouse this year.
<Hallry1676> is there going to be a google doc for week 2 review/week 3 preview like there was last cast?
<GCentola1126> we are, however, darn proud of how far we came
<Stogi> Dustin talk about 4342
<Stogi> they were amazing
<Stogi> no
<GCentola1126> but they also scored more reliably than shooters
<Stogi> 4342
<JacobP79> do they dump 2s or 1s
<GCentola1126> 2s
<Stogi> Finalists with 222 at Chestnut Hill
<Stogi> very very strong alliance
<schreiaj> thanks akash

<GCentola1126> 340 won yet another CA
<JacobP79> about orlando
<schreiaj> any tips?
<JacobP79> 179 wasnt that good
<Hallry1676> what happened to 25?
<JacobP79> 744, 180 and 1592 were the best 3 teams
<JacobP79> they had software problems all weekend
<Hallry1676> ah, okay
Guest 30 is logged into the chat

<rsisk101> heck yeah
<george1884> *and there were several 3 match turnarounds
I will be at CMP
<Guest 9> The field reset was really fast at WPI
<Guest 30> they discuss MI Districts yet?
<jwfoss> 3205 was rocking it at WPI
<Guest 9> 3205 were solid
<jwfoss> 228 got their stuff together and looked solid during elims
<george1884> 228 became the best robot at WPI
<george1884> 148 uses 228’s foot
<jwfoss> seems more stable than 148…
<jwfoss> colsons vs. pnuematics
<george1884> woot!
<jwfoss> they looked good
<george1884> 9th seed
<Guest 9> 9-3
<george1884> and we were picked first by 228
<schreiaj> congrats
<jwfoss> they were super close
<george1884> that’s our goal (+london regional)
<Guest 9> Next year
rtfgnow has left the chat
<george1884> yup
rtfgnow has hung up
<IndySam> Pit was rough
<jwfoss> bobcats out in the 1/4s at WPI, bad luck and some tuning issues, they should be really solid at CT
<GCentola1126> out of curiosity, with records like 9-3, were 10+ matches per team common this year? Usually, we have had around 9-10 but we had 12 at FLR this year
<IndySam> not deep at all, 48 was good though.

<Guest 30> 1114/2056 didn’t manage to balance at the end of that match
<Guest 30> gotta hang some balance out in elims!
Guest 32 has left the chat
<george1884> what was their incentive? to help another team (not playing)?
<george1884> clearly not helping, the bridge was balanced
<Hallry1676> is there video of it?
<george1884> it is only strategic if you have an ‘unofficial’ alliance to help another team get above in the rankings
<george1884> even then it’s pretty despicable
<JacobP79> ya, Hallry, its in the thread

Thank you for the shout out to Team 1884! It has really been our best year ever, and it is nice to get some recognition. I love listening to the podcasts and I look forward to hearing it again after week 6, or if we are lucky maybe sooner.
iTunes actually takes an RSS feed. You have to host the files yourself and provide that feed to iTunes. Ours is located at itpc://recordings.talkshoe.com/rss98466.xml
No we don’t really know much about that event either. If someone more familiar with the area could give us a preview we’d greatly appreciate it.
