Put five motors into your shooter? Questionable.

Have a vectored intake wheel drivetrain? Questionable.

Attempt (and nearly succeed) to win a regional with a ridiculous amount of fuel from one robot? Questionable.

Looks like all the boxes are checked for us to select Team 1986.

610! Gear cycler hype

FIRST Pick would like to know before making our selection whether 359 will earn WFA points from Houston or not.

My opinion is no but ultimately it is Eric’s decision

Why not? A 359 mentor received the award. 359 should receive the points.

2 reasons:

  1. The team did not attend the event the award was given at, just like if someone wins volunteer of the year at an event their team doesn’t attend. If 359 attended Houston, they should get the points at Houston, but they attended St. Louis.

  2. We already know the result, we don’t give points to the team who won the safety animation award because the winner is known prior to drafting.

Agreed with James here

Well, regardless of the verdict on the WFA, 1114 is FIRST Pick’s natural selection :rolleyes:

On the other hand, there isn’t going to be another WFA this year if I understand correctly. That would render those points like wildcards at Week 6 events: unused. And 359 would have normally been at Houston, except HoF switcheroo.

I should point out that VoY isn’t a points award in FF, for anybody.

But, I do understand the logic behind James’ POV.

So… I’m going to put two conditions on awarding the points.
Condition 1A: There is no other WFA awarded this year. (sunk points)
Condition 1B: OR, the other WFA is awarded to a mentor whose team was at Houston.
Condition 2: It would make a difference in the FF standings.

If Condition 1A AND Condition 2 are met, the points will be awarded. If Condition 1B is met, the points will be awarded regardless of Condition 2. Otherwise, 359 doesn’t get WFA points.

The reasoning is that if there’s a counter where a similar situation happens in STL, we may as well toss the points both ways. OTOH, if there’s a spread of <8 points between two FF players I’ll be surprised.

Oh, and I suspect that Glenn will walk into the pit in STL to find an extra case in there…with a really cool trophy inside. If they don’t hand it to him during opening ceremonies.:wink:
