no question Sf 1-2 for 180, 16, and 25 we lost by one we should have just doubled and moved on.

That was a really cool co-op balance at the end though.

857 Superior Roboworks

By some chance video exists of this: at the Traverse City district we are driving onto the coop bridge (held up by 3617 on the opposite side) and somehow to fall backwards. The video doesn't look so impressive, but it bent 1/4" steel plate holding a motor meant to turn our turret (not that we ever used it :p )

Video at TheBlueAlliance (http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2012gt_qm52) around 1:20

We tipped over in the same match that 148, 2936, and 922 performed the first triple balance ever. It wasn't our most graceful match.

Anyone have that video of 75 breaking in half at MAR Championships?

This is probably the best and worst. The first (and only) triple balance at the Sacramento Regional as well as two robots on the blue alliance falling off the bridge (one even falling out of the field.)

I cant find the video but the attempted balance of 692 on top of our robot at Davis probably resulted in one of the highest falls for a robot.

Darn fighting calculators backed off the bridge while coopertition balancing and flipped us in duluth.

Not my own team, but 207 caught some air in Curie SFs. One of the greatest bridge moments I witnessed.

For me it would be when my team did wheelie on the Co-Op bridge and got the buzzer balance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_3GNn0sBN4 at around 0:25

Had a slight mishap in communication that resulted in the flipping of our robot off the bridge at Kettering Kickoff at 1:44.
