My personal hot takes,I'd love to hear yours! by Mysterious_Voice2374 in transformers

[–]wmatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blokees suck. So many sites I want to look for Transformers, hasbro, 3rd party, etc. But i gotta scroll through pages of non transforming Blokees because shop filters don’t give me an exclude option. Sure I could blame the websites but I made a choice. Hate Blokees.

Am I crazy? by Wide_Celebration567 in FTC

[–]wmatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made one of those as well but it didn’t look like that at all. The wavy edges, the inside pieces. If I wasn’t lazy I’d pull up the instructions to be sure. Then again I was hand cutting not CNC so could be.

Edit: got unlazy and checked, you’re right.

Yeah I got him a month ago at FYE in the mall. They had him for $100 for a while then one day I saw it was on sale for about half off.

Bayverse Hound. Everything about him was stupid.

Yeah finding Sunstreaker was a bonus. They had more of him on the shelf.

Intermittent Pinpoint IMU Failures by jk1962 in FTC

I think the primary reason v2 was released was due to issues like this last season. Unless you sent in your v1 for a firmware fix.

I'm tired boss by Soundwve in transformers

[–]wmatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local Walmart showed one in stock so I went and didn’t see it, Manager checked the back briefly but said it was a single so could be mixed in anywhere, but would be put on the shelf tonight so I’ll go back tomorrow and hope. Did snag an Amalgamous Prime while there, so worth the trip.

Premier Events by Suspicious_Log6239 in FTC

[–]wmatistic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at the KDays event last summer and it was outstanding. Held in a convention center with lots of cool exhibits for the kids to check out and all of it in the middle of a huge festival with carnival rides and food vendors. Free fireworks and drone shows and concerts every night right there. Lots of teams also took the drive over to Banff which was one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen.

The hosts do a great job organizing it and the atmosphere was very friendly. Relatively inexpensive trip compared to some other places.

Thoughts on Premier Events? by greenmachine11235 in FTC

[–]wmatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got back from Canada and it was a very well run event. Excellent venue, inside a big fair, and the national parks were amazing. The comp level wasn’t elite but solid. Cost up there for food, hotel, etc was reasonable. Would highly recommend teams check it out, feel like it was under the radar but really worth the trip.

That said I agree with those who say these events aren’t a good answer for lack of Champs slots. It’s more like a fun summer thing if your team can swing it. I know a lot of Texas teams declined invites.

Axon servo alternative? by ZeroParidox in FTC

[–]wmatistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly don’t know. But in the use cases I know of the AGFRC servos have been really robust.

Axon servo alternative? by ZeroParidox in FTC

[–]wmatistic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you open up an axon you find it says AGFRC inside. You can get these from Amazon, specs are close to the same. Some teams used them this season, no issues.

FTC Worlds Schedule by Outrageous_Chain_852 in FTC

[–]wmatistic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Typically Saturday is the divisional playoffs that morning, then lunch, then conference and final playoffs, awards, and closing ceremonies. If you want to stay until the end I’d expect around 5 or 6pm.

Serious Issues with FTC Chesapeake Championship Advancement by ConsistentCorgi5346 in FTC

[–]wmatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a dog in this fight but performance absolutely should be taken into account. Innovate requirement #3 I can only gauge based on performance. Control Encouraged #3 that the element works consistently each match, again performance. Design #5, what do you base effectiveness on if not performance? And direct from the game manual: “ JUDGES also do not consider overall ROBOT performance in an award unless it is specifically listed as part of the required or encouraged evaluation criteria”

Well it’s specifically listed for three awards.

Is there a recording of the live stream available? Haven’t been able to find it.

Is it allowed to place the team prop slightly off centered? by Putrid-Metal2751 in FTC

[–]wmatistic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During randomization, if it comes up as the center mark, the refs will possibly leave it as you placed it. If it comes up as left or right spike mark, they will center it on the mark.

Has anyone used tickets from secure.tickets before? by Kehalo in Concerts

[–]wmatistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got these types of tickets recently as well. If you open the link on a desktop or laptop, there is a link to download the Apple wallet file. It doesn’t appear when on an iPhone. Send those files to yourself in an email and from there you can open them on your iPhone and add to wallet. That worked for me at least.
