Oh Man! I just can't watch that video too often. I am sorry 2785 but it just kills me every time.

As to Dukes of Stronghold, I am going to give it the thumbs down. Might be an honorary Triple Turtle (together with its two partners), but not Dukes... ...at least not in my book.

I already submitted one for last week, but this is even better. In autonomous, 5089 does a wheelie to get started on the rock wall, and then used it to propel them to new heights. Even better, they come to a stop shortly after landing, proving you don't have to crash into the wall if you catch air and your encoders lose counts.

Kettering week one, Autonomous mode ends and apparently our arm control was in the wrong direction. Robot poised on the obstacle, arm goes up, driver moves slightly and WHOOPS, over she goes.

I know they are out there. Let's find them and submit them this week.

2169 and 1094 were both getting some crazy airtime over defenses this weekend at CIR. Video should hopefully start popping up soon. I heard "robot that can fly" mentioned multiple times when talking about 2169, specifically. Those tires, man...those tires. Nicely done, guys.

Yup. I'm waiting for videos to be posted on Blue Alliance to submit. If not, we have videos our team members took, but our seating didn't always have the greatest shot of the hops.

Yeah, that is my team. Yeah, I was the drive coach.

We needed the breach, and I wanted my driver to try and push them through. Needless to say he put a little more throttle down than anticipated. :yikes:

We checked on both teams after the match, luckily the one we drove over had a lexan shield entirely over the top of the robot. No damage to either team. (Phew :) )

Wait, someone is getting a penalty there. Is it the jumpee or the jumper that gets the flag? I THINK it should be the blue robot but that seems to be adding insult to injury no?

Dr. Joe J.

When I asked this as a theoretical situation, albeit in the reverse direction, the head ref stated that it should be a red card for the jumping robot for damage inside the frame perimeter but a foul on the jumped robot for contacting a robot in the outer works.

Was anything damaged? Contact inside the frame perimeter isn't illegal.


G24 Strategies aimed at the destruction or inhibition of ROBOTS via attachment, damage, tipping,
entanglements, or deliberately putting a BOULDER on an opponent’s ROBOT are not allowed.

"Initiating deliberate or damaging contact with an opponent ROBOT
on or inside the vertical extension of its FRAME PERIMETER is not
allowed."

Dr. Joe J.

It was the blue robot (jumpee) who was penalized, and then sat dead for more than a minute before resurrecting themselves for a little defense and a capture in the end.

The red robot (jumper) died 10 seconds after this jump in the opponents courtyard and never came back to life. This unfortunately gifted a couple of scales to the opponents, and cost their own alliance the capture.

Dear CD,

Thanks to Daniel Ernst, FiM photographer, our sister team, 1188, was able to some serious Dukes of Stronghold action pictures taken at the Southfield FiM district event.

After seeing these pictures I hope most folks conclude that this is one rough competition that is easy to miss without such great pictures.
