HOLY MOSES!:yikes:

I can picture that thing on Einstein for sure.

**Applauding**

EDIT: perhaps along with 1114 = total domination XD

[Tanner]

Nice! Our team tried to conquer a hurdle like that, but were a bit too far away from the middle to make it over, did hit the overpass through.

Why not cheer for everyone? :D
I know for a fact that all of the teams involved had a lot of fun regardless of whether the final outcome was in favor for them or not. I know I speak for more than one person here when I say that it was just plain fun:D

[Jimmy Cao]

I dont think I could have had a better view... watching that ball fly towards me was quite intimidating... and exciting!

Great hurdle! It was great playing against you at detroit. Maybe we'll be together at GLR =D

[Dan Petrovic]

I wonder what the drivers were saying during that.

Coach: You got five seconds left!
Driver: I'm gonna turn up here, and you're gonna shoot.
Operator: What?
Driver: Shoot!

[Ali Ahmed]

That was incredible. Very effective design. Good luck, although you might not need it.

We're just happy we got it on film :p besides Detroit was too crowded to use a tripod.

[mark johnson]

Like the song says ( NICE SHOT MAN!!!!!).Cant wait to play with you guys and gals at great lakes.

Unbelievable. I love the way it comes down and picks the ball up, reminds me of a greyhound for some reason.

You guys are going to be a force to be reckoned with in ATL..

ROFL, you know.. ive been in such similar situations when i drove.. i think any good driving team who work good together get themselves in that kind of situation lol

[AdamHeard]

I think that officially beats the end game impressiveness of the 968 hurdle, 1717 place, 294 knock of SD final 1.

This isn't youtube buddy, please talk with a little more GP and respect.

By a LANDSLIDE!

That match was amazing!

[Tetraman]

I'm surprised it's the first hurdle of it's kind that I've seen.

[lachoneus8]

Final score 124 to 106! Amazing match, and impressive hurdle!

Thanks for posting this.

And congrats on the Chairman's award.

[Brandon Holley]

So much for our surprise in boston for everybody :rolleyes:

Really awesome though, good job guys.

[GaryVoshol]

I hope 2337 was paying attention. Watch out, WMich!

[Heretic121]

*side note.... was it a legal hurdle??? aka did it count for points???

[GaryVoshol]

*side note.... was it a legal hurdle??? aka did it count for points???
Sure. As long as it goes over the crossbar, between the uprights, in a ccw direction, and lands on the field or on another robot, it's valid.

[Elgin Clock]

The only thing that could of made that better was if the angle was a bit more shallow, and it bounced off the outer wall's railing and landed on top of the rack at the end.

But we can't do everything now can we? ;)

Good job Team 27!

[Matthew2c4u]

Hey, Is it a legal hurdle if your not in the Home stretch??
I was under the assumption that would not count

"Hurdling is defined as: HURDLING:
Quote:
The act of completing a HURDLE. To be considered in the process of HURDLING, the ROBOT must:

* be in its own HOME STRETCH, and
* be in POSSESSION of a TRACKBALL, and
* be moving toward the OVERPASS and/or elevating the TRACKBALL so that the top of the TRACKBALL is higher than the LANE DIVIDER.

[Grant Cox]

^ all that means is they weren't eligible for protection from hurdler interference. The act of HURDLING and an actual HURDLE are two very discrete things.


I second what Jimmy said. Seeing that out of the corner of my eye, sealed my awe and fascination with 27's bot. I recommend you guys watch the whole match instead of just the end; final score 124-106, it's one of the most intense and offensive matches there've been yet!

[Alan Anderson]

Hey, Is it a legal hurdle if your not in the Home stretch??

HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.

It was certainly a HURDLE by this definition. Where the robots are is not important.

The robot indeed was not HURDLING according the next definition in section 7.2. However, that doesn't make a HURDLE impossible. It just means the robot is not granted protection from interference by other robots.

[Matt C]

Hey, Is it a legal hurdle if your not in the Home stretch??

"

That is merely the definition of a robot in the act of completing a hurdle to clarify when impeding is not called and when interference can be called.

HURDLE: When a TRACKBALL CROSSES a FINISH LINE while passing above the OVERPASS
and then contacts either the floor or another ROBOT before re-contacting the originating ROBOT.
<G11> Each TRACKBALL that HURDLES its own FINISH LINE will earn 8 points (2 points for
CROSSING the FINISH LINE and a 6 point bonus, yielding 8 points total).

Bah, ya beat me to it!

[Matthew2c4u]

Thank you i found the relevant information

[Emily2177]

that is probably the best hurdle ive seen so far.... great robot!

[Spreak07]

Wow guys, good job!! What a good regional to start of competition season! Makes me sad I couldn't be there... perhaps nationals?!?!? And Chairman's too... goodness you're making my class look bad!!

[Cait1070]

Wowww! :yikes: That was a fantastic move at the end! Awesome robot and props to whoever drove it and launched that final hurdle. :D

[DonRotolo]

Ho. Lee. Cow.

You will be fearsome on Einstein. :yikes:

[jordanski27]

so glad this was recorded

[EricVicenti]

Very nice. We did that once, although accidentally, over the wrong overpass. Right now though we are struggling to hurdle at all..

[Team56]

AWESOME ;O

[jgannon]

The only other comparably good endgame move I've seen was this one:

It's much better to be watching things like this from home than from the opposing driver station. :p Awesome job, 27.
