I must say those are some truly epic shots. I think that inbounder could play some professional basketball later in life! Good job!
He also scored all of the points for his alliance.
Anyone got stats on this inbounder's OPR? :P
Ironic how the OPs team name matches the video...
Wow to the shooting. We have a HP who regularly scored 2's per match but that is insane! One ball every 5 seconds? Crazy. (And yes, that does mean the Blue Alliance here should be receiving credit for making this exhibition possible.)

Well it looks like that guy's....*takes off glasses*......inconceivable.

Not sure who's inbounder it was, but the teams on the field for that match were:
Red: 2450, 3840, 2825
Blue: 3277, 2883, 2169

It has been suggested it was 2450's inbounder.

Wish it had been our inbounder :( We were not on the field for that match. We did win one match due to our inbounder hitting a 3.
We (Inconceivable) placed a GoPro camera behind the 3 point backboard on each end of the field, with the permission of the FTA and the state planning committee. So we're just the source of the video...

We meant the name Inconceivable describing what happened in the video...

We like our team name... It was appropriate in the early years when our robot was Inconceivable for the wrong reasons, and it fits us now that we have pretty decent robots that can do things like this year's 4 point double shot from just beyond half court.

This guy seems like a beast! He probably plays Basketball in addition to doing robotics.

I will confirm that it's 2450's inbounder. This is the best human performance this year, if not all years.

Great performance? Yes. Of all time in FIRST? Sorry friend, I'm going to disagree with you. 2009 was the year of the human player. There were many human players who could consistently out score many robots. Not only that, the GDC put a 15 point game changer ball in their hands during the last period if the game.

2004 was the year of the human player the only way balls could be scored was if the HP threw them into one of the goals...

This video is currently listed as one of the top viewed videos on youtube. Not really sure why, but I wouldn't complain much.

It's now the 3rd most viewed. And a bunch of random youtubers are disliking the video.

I never did understand the point of that... But the again, my rookie year of FRC and FIRST was 2008.

Weird, every time I look, I don't see it on the most viewed list... My suspicion is that Google is doing FIRST a favor an inserting it on the most viewed list occasionally for random people or something..

Well it has almost 25,000 views now, sadly this isn't really the one video I would have picked to show off FIRST.

Agreed. I can put annotations/links in to other videos... suggestions?
Agreed. I can put annotations/links in to other videos... suggestions?Forgive the shoddy memory, but what's the match video where--was it the High Rollers?--went like 18/18 (20/20? ish)? Something like "Now check out how good the robots get! [insert record] in 2 minutes" or a cooler phrase.

I dunno about High Rollers, and I would imagine they have the same feat, but the one that pops to mind is the match at, iirc CVR or SVR, where 1717 went 19 for 20 in teleop.

Another 10k views in the past three hours... It.. It... It is almost Inconceivable!
But as for the link you post in the first few seconds of the match, I suggest you actually make it when you click the box it opens that video. The way it is right now (copy/paste), makes it very difficult to actually see that match. If you need help on how to do that pm me and I'll show you.
*edit* Glad you figured it out!
*edit#2* 85k views... and increasing! The view rate according to the detailed stats view is going up at a faster rate. Plus it is getting views from all around the world.

And now >101K views.
Pretty cool that it's getting all of these views. I would recommend putting up a link/annotation to a promo video of first. That way people can actually see what it is, in addition to the link you already posted to a more exciting match.
One of the Morgan Freeman videos would probably be good.

This seems like a good opportunity to get FIRST out there! I would recommend adding a link/annotation to a video explaining what FIRST actually is. Everyone loves Morgan Freeman, so how about one of the promo videos he's in?

Another video that might be cool to add is one of the really well done robot release videos? A few come to mind (118, 288, 254, etc).
Here's the link to 118's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qWiIx_SzIE
