Best Moments of Aerial Assist

[Mike Starke]

Hey everyone! I am looking to put together another video like I did for Rebound Rumble- available here on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGkPTFUmvCM)- and I need your help!

I am looking for YouTube links to the best competition moments in Aerial Assist. These can include, first solo two ball auto, first solo three ball auto, first truss toss and catch, first perfect cycle, first perfect auto, great plays etc.

The final video will premiered on the FRC Top 25 show next week! Stay tuned to the FRCTop25 "Post Championship" thread for details on that show.

Thanks everyone! I look forward to seeing all of these videos!

I feel like if this was a question asking about the best moments of Aerial Assist someone would say, "it ending."

Exactly.

[Jay O'Donnell]

Definitely try to show all of the different ways teams went about getting 3 assists at champs, particularly the 3 seed, 5 seed, and 8 seed on Archimedes. The 254 v. 1114 chess match on Einstein was epic. Some other great matches were Waterloo semifinals with 254 and 2056, inland empire finals match 2 when 399 caught two balls en route to a win, 2481 had some great shooting moments in Galileo elims... I could go on for a while but these were the moments that stuck out to me.

[JamesB3467]

In qualification match 42 of the Northeastern District, one side of 3467's rings snapped. Luckily because of the symmetry our robot fad this year, we were able to spin 180 degrees around and still make a 10 point shot with seconds remaining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJM_RzFtGCw (around 2:20)

[Laaba 80]

Strangest high goal score? Watch the blue ball at 1:32. This is definitely at the top of my "what just happened" list.

Wut? *do not pick - actively helps opponents score*

[EricH]

Wut? *do not pick - actively helps opponents score*

On the other hand... Do pick, they don't get Technical Fouls for G12 violations. (At IRI, that'll probably be no foul at all...) Fastest possession I've ever seen...

[pabeekm]

If you can find video of it, during Qualification match 81 on archimedes 1671 makes what I believe to be the farthest (albeit unintentional) catch in Aerial Assist: a 45 ft toss falls just short of the human player and lands in their robot.

Also, you've got to include one of the 1918 death cycles.

[Tom Bottiglieri]

604's epic auton fail.
http://youtu.be/VL4Wn39yMmQ

[BrendanB]

I'm impartial to a few cool moments that we experienced this season.

At 2:20 in this video the front side of our shooter ring snaps meaning the ball is no longer supported and at first reaction our shooter is dead. Our drivers reacted quickly with the time left on the clock and just shot out the back of the robot for a last second score.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJM_RzFtGCw

At 1:54 in this video our partners 58 The Riot Crew missed just high but the ball bounced off of the low goal in and in for 10 points.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eECBBpVQ88Y

[belle94]

The blue alliance shot here was pretty cool: http://youtu.be/mcUh0H_ROuk?t=2m15s

[wasayanwer97]

All 3 Einstein matches.
Watching 254 and 1114 during autonomous was amazing.

My personal favorite moment from my team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THMerdGMBxQ&feature=youtu.be&t=2m27s
Crowd went crazy. Even the refs were cheering!

[billylo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s9v3v0I4SQ#t=129

Quick thinking by our operator: Red team under defence shot ball from the right side of the field to the high goal on the left.

[brandon.cottrell]

http://youtu.be/N9WVpRloRoQ?t=44s

Watch the red ball.

Oh and also, when that Paper Airplane made it onto the stage (http://youtu.be/IYLtoYiFIi8?t=58m50s) when Dean was speaking.

Match 2 at the FIRST in Michigan Southfield District - Week 1. 33 catches truss shot from 573 at 2:10.


http://youtu.be/n-ZHapIVG_c

[BrennanB]

Highest scoring match (with fouls)

With the high score on the red side, nobody ever notices blue's auton (3360) makes the most ridiculous low goal score I have ever seen

604's epic auton fail.
http://youtu.be/VL4Wn39yMmQ

^that was insane.

[alexander.h]

Here's a 60-point cycle from the Montreal Regional Q21. Watch the red alliance : 3975 (we're the ones that caught the ball :cool:), 1075 and 3117. I don't know if it's the first one of the competition or not, but it's fun to watch either way.

[Jared Russell]

Did anyone at the NASA Ames pre-ship scrimmage get video of Team 100 shooting out a polycarbonate panel from the driver station wall?

Or 1323 hitting the A/V truss about 20 feet above the goal at CVR?

604's epic auton fail.
http://youtu.be/VL4Wn39yMmQ

There was a similar occurrence on Newton during a match. I think it bounced off the pedestal.

[BriteBacon]

My favorite hail-merry shot I made all season.

http://youtu.be/JBT2m48e48Y?t=2m23s

[hrench]

I'm sure it happened in other games, but at 2:01 in this game, two balls collide over the truss.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dpOBd8Hyrg

[Hjelstrom]

Someone should find a good example of 2451's alliance in Curie. Awesome cycles with a lot of great passing and driving involving all 3 human players and all 3 robots.

[hrench]

at about 1:10 into this video the ball is punctured and goes very flat very fast. Great recovery by field personel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLsBNxcIKjw

[Rob3653]

Team 3476's autonomous fail, and win. They even got a hot goal because of the fail. I chuckle at this every time I watch it.

Watch at 2:15. Just about a 1 in a million.

I would think so, it technically follows the definition of a catch I believe.

[Lightfoot26]

Archimedes Qual 109 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QwqgNls44E
We approached 33 and 1671 about a particular strategy we thought all our bots could really play well, and they accepted it with a few contingency plans in case it didn't work. The first 2 cycles we are getting a feel for it, but by the 3rd cycle we were all on our game and it made for awesome 3 assist cycles!

[xraymypanda]

inland empire finals match 2 when 399 caught two balls en route to a win,
http://youtu.be/dhY_p3qhSkY- Inland Empire Finals match 2

Please include this, the first alliance to really put on a clinic in week 1 and show how this game should be played.

[EricH]

I would think so, it technically follows the definition of a catch I believe.

It did not contact the human player. It did not contact the carpet. It did not contact the robot shooting over the truss. It was possessed (carry OR trap, your choice) by a robot of the proper alliance.

That better have been counted as a catch... assuming the refs weren't too busy picking their jaws up off the floor from the shock.

[ThunderousPrime]

[Cynette]

Definitely try to show all of the different ways teams went about getting 3 assists ...

Including bizarre ways? How about the infamous "touch and go" strategy of 1511 during the Finger Lakes Regional? :cool:

Please include an example of a 60 point cycle!

And our favorite play of the day at Champs, when 971 (I think) blocked all the opponents balls in autonomous on Newton.

(Sounds like 973, Greybots, may have done the same thing in Galileo.)

Amazing - our team pursued the exact same strategy in the Curie eliminations. One of the other pit crew was explaining it to me and I'm sure I gave him a "You're going to WHAT?" look... but darn if it didn't work. You can almost picture the defense pausing and saying "What the heck did they just do?"

[barn34]

Galileo Q36 had one of the most epic finishes I'd seen all year. Down 5 points with time quickly winding down, 67 frantically got the ball on the inbound and, with heavy defense from multiple robots pushing them away from the truss, pulled the trigger on a hail mary truss shot as the buzzer sounded. It hit the top of the truss and then bounced over securing them a 5 point victory. It was pretty awesome.

Check out the 2:30 mark of the video to see for yourself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxJdBTUu69Q

[barn34]

...2481 had some great shooting moments in Galileo elims...

*These are my personal favorites...mostly because of the reactions from our alliance partners that are forever etched on my brain. Love you guys! :D

We also had one of those epic bounce-off-multiple-robots-catches in Galileo Q92, I believe. That one I know I haven't seen video of...and, to be honest, as it happened I wasn't even sure if it was counted as a catch or not. Truly crazy. I'll definitely post a link to that once I find video of it.

Don't get me wrong, we completely understand where you're coming from. We had a very similar 4 point loss in Q110 that was decided in the final few seconds. Still, fun as hell to be a part of though. lol

Watch at 2:15. Just about a 1 in a million.

Was just watching this one again, and 1939 did catch the ball. Also, the ball blocked the other team's truss shot. That was cool too.

Still lost the match, but that was a great moment.

You won that match by 20 points. :rolleyes:
(So that shot got your alliance 10 points for the catch, and prevented us from getting 10 points for getting the truss. It could be argued that the shot influenced the outcome of the match.)

[Caleb Sykes]

10K Lakes Quarter 2-1 (http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2014mnmi_qf2m1), 2705 shoots it into the low goal in auto.

10K Lakes Quarter 2-2 (http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2014mnmi_qf2m2), 2705 passes it to 3202 in auto, who puts it into the low goal at the start of teleop.

Either one of these would have been lucky, but doing these back-to-back is pretty ridiculous.

[lgphoneeric]

Was just watching this one again, and 1939 did catch the ball. Also, the ball blocked the other team's truss shot. That was cool too.

Still lost the match, but that was a great moment.

That is match 125. Our teams won that match. 2996, 1939, and 2907. With a score of 157-137 us.

[Cam877]

In the longest truss catch, there is a mistake. The trusser is team 203, not team 1671.

[holygrail]

You won that match by 20 points. :rolleyes:
(So that shot got your alliance 10 points for the catch, and prevented us from getting 10 points for getting the truss. It could be argued that the shot influenced the outcome of the match.)

Thanks for the correction, there weren't many that went our way, and it took some excellent work from 2996 and 2907 and a lot of luck to win against a very good red alliance in that one. Blue Cheese had a great machine.
