FIRST Robotics Championship

[Stigs]

Who else on this forum is apart of a FIRST Robotics Team and if you are, did you go to the Championship in St. Louis?  My team went, and we didn't win, but we still had a great time.

IKR!  I had to scout all 158 matches on Curie (the field my team was on) and I knew that they were probably the best team at the competition.  But the Curie Curse is no more!

I thought they couldn't outdo their hang from last year, but they pulled it off. 

on a scale from 1 to 10, how stacked was Curie this year?

do you think they made it that way intentionally to defeat the curse?

 

also, I screencapped the stream of einstein saturday night because I was at dinner. anyone know how to crop video in adobe premier? I want to upload what I have, so other people can appreciate 254's fantastic work among other things.

Probably like a 7.  My scouting data shows like 20 really good teams, and the other 80 teams were average or below average.  It was 167 matches of robots for Curie, and it rotted my brain.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if it was purposely stacked.  You never know how well a team will perform until they get to the competition.  My team (Team 1676) was great at Mt. Olive, okay at Clifton, and good at Bridgewater, then we lost it a little bit at the MAR competition in Lehigh, but then we were better at St. Louis again.

at the very least, this year was a good year for spectating. three straight years of great games. what will we see next year?

WATER GAME! But seriously, that would almost be impossible. Getting that much water at each event.

My team went last year but they suck this year so we did not go.

how about water resistant CIMs? that would be an issue.

always so many issues.  FIRST will figure it out....maybe in another 25 years.

This is one of our qualification matches.  We are the Red Alliance starting on the bottom right.

CIMS already work underwater, all DC motors can
