Lakeshore robotics has completed a new facility along with a full field and will be starting a series of 4 qualifying competitions on June 19, 20, 26 & 27. Teams will compete for a qualifying spot for a Wisconsin Championship on July 10. All events will be streamed at https://twitch.tv/firstupdatesnow and the Wisconsin Championship will contain a full production.
Saturday events will be a 4 alliance playoff and Sunday will be a round robin.
4 Teams will advance from each scrimmage to the championship. Advancement Criteria should a team be already qualified:
1 Winning Alliance Captain 2 Winning Alliance 1st Picked 3 Winning Alliance 2nd Picked 4 Runner Up Alliance Captain 5 Runner Up Alliance 1st Picked 6 Runner Up Alliance 2nd Picked 7 3rd Place Alliance Captain 8 4th Place Alliance Captain 9 3rd Place Alliance 1st Picked 10 4th Place Alliance 1st Picked 11 3rd Place Alliance 2nd Picked 12 4th Place Alliance 2nd Picked
6574 is excited to play robots. And see a few familiar faces (sort of) again! Thanks for helping the event out, and huge props to Lakeshore for making this happen.
Event 1 Playoffs have just started! Check it out at https://twitch.tv/firstupdatesnow we will be doing match predictions where you can bet your channel points!
Playoffs are about to start at twitch.tv/firstupdatesnow ! We added a climb cam today and I really like how the field is shown versus other camera angles I have seen:
Playoffs are about to get started. Watch at Twitch
Since it’s always more enjoyable to watch events when you know who’s good, here are the alliances with some data collected while testing out a new super lightweight scouting system. Climbing data is for every robot for every match and high goal scoring is ~50% of each team’s matches.
In addition to the unique camera angles, we will also have match analysis with replay, Behind the Bumpers interviews and potentially some additional interviews as well. Good luck to all teams!
I’ll post my predictions later on but curious to know who you think will take this event?

Playoffs will be 4 alliances of 3 teams.
Predictions:
8002 seeds first with consistent climb and decent shooter, they want to pick 930 but their climb isn’t there enough to where they are not confident that they will get a climber on the way back so they pick 6574 who’s climb is consistent and shooting has improved. They pick up 2202 as their last pick.
1732 is vastly improved from their last event with their target zone shooter and pair up with 1259. They pick up 9930 on the way back.
930 is the #3 seed and picks up 3381 and then 8518 on the way back for an effective double climb.
#4 seed falls to 2830 and they pick up 7103 and 2062.
Agreed! Thanks to everyone at the LREC for hosting. It was great to be competing again in person. Excellent robots and driving all around on the winning alliance!
930 (and 9930) had a great time during all these events. It was a great opportunity to not only get our team back into the best part of FRC, the competitions, but also to remind them of what it really takes to field a competitive robot. It’s easy to forget when you can just stop a skills-challenge run in the middle when you see/hear something off, or postpone runs another day to fix an issue.
Congrats to the winners, 8002, 1259, and our neighbors, 6421. After 6421’s defense shut us down during our 2nd event, it really inspired the team to re-adjust our strategy for champs. Excited to see them again at Laser Lights and go for another rematch!
Thanks LREC for putting this on, and Tyler + FUN for the wonderful champs commentary. I didn’t read your predictions until after the event took place, but damn if you weren’t spot on with 8002’s dilemma.
