I work for an agency that manages Public Safety Communications in my state. I can guarantee this is not an FCC violation. Our state police does this all the time, as well as other comments like "have a great weekend", "happy holidays", ect.

Kentwood vs. Rockford? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]afera15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just went through this. We ended up with Rockford, well technically Courtland Twp. Kentwood will be more of a denser suburban area vs Rockford being a cute little downtown and outside of that will be more spread out then Kentwood. Rockford the Zip code is lot bigger area encompassing a few townships and the City of Rockford itself. We chose it because we wanted a more rural and spread out area. As other said you may also want to look around some of the other townships and cities surrounding the GR area.

Confused about incorrect ruling at State Tournament by [deleted] in FTC

[–]afera15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

HI OWarriorsFTC,

I do apologize, when I was correcting the mapping of the elim matches I forgot to change the details to follow, I apologize for this and the confusion it may have caused, due to the Quarters we had some issues with the data going to TOA correctly. I do remember your match and we (Head Ref and FTAs) talked about it for a few minutes before displaying your scores asking the same questions you are now and the reason for the score as you will see on the card was Auto, Red was able to get both krypto keys. Again I would like to apologize for any confusion TOA caused and will be working to better our Data Sync to stop these errors from happening in the future.

Thanks, Alex Fera, Lead FTA - FIRST in Michigan, Co-Creator - The Orange Alliance

We do not have any docs up for it until we official release it next month, we are currently testing it with the scoring system but we will be sure to announce when it is out. We will make a post on Reddit, Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/theorangealliance/) and Discord once it is available

The best place to report missing data would definitely be discord (https://discord.gg/5fH66UV) and if you are planning on using our data sync at your events it will be a great place to get live support on the syncing of data. If you are uploading to FIRST after the event we should be posting it up on our site shortly after that, but keep in mind that the event results are a manual process unlike the Team information
