Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: Poll Week Last

[Joe Johnson]

13 entries this week to the Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest

Watch 'em all, vote for the Dukes of Stronghold gif you think is best

FWIW, this is the a pretty strong field of gifs. Tough to pick just one and probably the second highest vote getter might have won another week -- them's the breaks...

The winner gets a $10 gift card for the CD user who submitted it and the entry goes in the mix for the season grand gif finale.

Don't forget to we've got one more poll after this to determine the grand champion from all the weekly polls. Vote early, vote often...


Enjoy,

What is the ref indicating? The robot pinning itself?

[Scott England]

I don't recall the specific rule/guideline, but there was an emphasis at Lonestar about giving robots 5 or 10 seconds to try to right themselves without being touched by another robot. I'm not sure if they were disabled after that time was up to prevent damage to the field, or if the robots just stopped trying when they realized they were stuck. I'm a little surprised at how few robots ended up upside down this year, all things considered.

What is the ref indicating? The robot pinning itself?

Counting down the 10 seconds on G23, I believe.

Fallen (i.e. tipped over) ROBOTS attempting to right themselves (either by themselves or with assistance from a partner ROBOT) have one ten (10) second grace period in which they may not be contacted by an opponent ROBOT. This protection lasts for either ten (10) seconds or until the protected ROBOT has completed the righting operation, whichever comes first.
Violation: FOUL. If intentional, YELLOW CARD

Anyway we can get a better perspective of this? The whole field perspective made me take a while to find what the focus was. If not, It's still a great gif. Great Job!

I found a video from team 3824 that shows the incident at a better angle with the blue penalty included. Unfortunately it's still full-field.

Don't forget to vote. Poll closes Tuesday. Look for a Grand Champion Poll shortly after that.

Cheers,
