Whats Worlds Like?

There is your Issue

(I am just joking…Unless)

This is handy. I had to search for and install the extension - so it is not default to chrome.

sure would be cool if @Mentor_355U did some magic regarding this at vrc-data-analysis.com

You mean beyond this:

EDIT: You should even be able to export-download the data as a CSV. Apologies Middle Schoolers not included.

Its a nice tool that I very much appreciate, and a close guess, but there are 12 incorrect teams in Math (only division I have a team in). I’m willing to put in some time and make an single list of team number and division name if that is what you need to sort them.

Yeah, TeamNumber+Division

OK, it’s been updated based on the GoogleDrive spreadsheet breakout of Divisions. LMK if there are any errors.

I’ve also added the Median and 60th, 75th, and 90th percentile points to the chart. Assuming an 80 team division, the 60th percentile team would “rank” 32nd, and be “likely” to make the elimination round as the picked team of the 16th seed. The 75th percentile would wind up around 20th, and be borderline for making it out of the Round of 16. The 90th percentile would be in the Top 8 and have a decent chance of making it to the Semifinals.

Our brain has vexOS 1.0.12 installed on it. However, we have no microusb port. We need 1.1.1 for worlds. Is there any way to install it before worlds (I’ve heard that they can do it at worlds but we don’t want to take up the time of the volunteers.)? (@jpearman ?)

What do you mean no microusb port? Did you break it?

Actually, it was the team who had it last year. By broken, I mean the metal structure is not there. There is literally just a hole. (For reference, we are a 1st year MS team getting a brain from a “retiring” HS team. Before, we didn’t have the money or see the need for a new brain and now there is a huge backlog on electronics orders)

I would check about borrowing a brain from another team to be sure you are operational before heading to Worlds.

I would prefer there to be a way to update it. We’ll keep borrowing as the last choice (if we don’t get a solution by Monday)

There is no official way to do this at present - if there were, you can be sure tons of organizations will want to know why it has not been distributed.

You can ask VEX support.

But my advice, borrow a brain… seriously, a good idea to have a spare at Worlds - you never know.

There is no way to do this before worlds. There is also no guarantee we can do it at worlds, we will try but the best plan is to follow @lacsap ’s advise and borrow another V5 brain.

+1

Most teams I know carry a backup V5 brain in case of emergency. Just ask a team in your region for a V5 brain, and return it back after worlds ends or when you get back home.

OK. Thank you. We will just do that

Where’s a good place to order custom wristbands from?

We can’t find a banner that can ship in enough time. Would it be ok/funny if we just drew our name in MS paint and printed it out? I am also confused about divisions and how that will all work. I know there are 7 divisons. Will each division have its own qualifiers then tournament? Then all the winners from those seven tournaments have one big tournament? How does it work?

Yes any banner you make is ok - it represents your team.

Divisions run like tournaments on their own - giving judged awards and division champions. The champions then advance to finals to compete with other division champions. This is all described in the latest Game Manual.

Alright, thank you for the information.
