that was very impressive! we knew we were in for a competitive match once we saw that!

[Joe Reel]

The triple hang was very exciting and extremely welcome at that point of the competition. As Wayne said it did not change the outcome of the match. Congrats to the awesome #1 Alliance 2081, 234, and 2040 they worked together very well and with the two fast mini's they were unbeatable. Thanks to 1501 for selecting us to join them and 451 for finishing the #2 Alliance. The Boilermaker Planning Committee deserves a big thank you for the awesome competition. One idea that was used in the pits was to place the Rookies robots across the aisle from the "Old Veterans" it was a great idea. I know many of the veterans helped the rookies with the completion of their robots and getting them inspected. Thanks to all of the volunteers for keeping us on time and in some cases amused.

This is not the only occurance of a triple hang, it also happened at Kettering.

[MrForbes]

Arizona had 3 working autonomous robots in the eliminations, with 842, 330, and 2662 doing it repeatedly.

It's a beautiful thing to watch, wherever it happens

[kinghashbrown]

it was also done at BAE by 177, 1519, and 176 in eliminations

Proof of this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/danielernst/5507068616/in/set-72157626218631340/) (thanks to Daniel Ernst for his awesome pictures of Kettering!)

We (33) hung the two on the left, 2137 hung the one on the right.

This is not the only occurance of a triple hang, it also happened at Kettering.

It was also done in Florida and in Baltimore. Congratulations to you all!

Now if we could get 1 robot that could do that... It would be awesome!

Just so there's no confusion, 175 (Buzz) was the alliance captain, not 177 (Bobcat). There have been several alliances to get the triple ubertube hang fairly reliable - it is definitely exciting! :-)

[Dustin Shadbolt]

That moment really got everyone going in the stands!

[AZNkommander]

If I recall, West Michigan had 5 Ubertubes up.

No pictures though. Sorry.

[spacepenguine]

We did that (with an alliance of 74 and a team i don't remember) at West Michigan. I'm sure there were pictures, but I haven't seen any yet. Our photographer is banned from taking video of our auton runs because we always miss it when she's recording =P An exciting moment for sure!

[flippy147852]

I believe that was in our semifinals match 1 (1918,27,3357 vs. 226,74,3452)

[LightWaves1636]

I'm pretty sure at Alamo in Week 1 that it was done several times. The most memorable times is whenever 148 is hanging two ubertubes and 16 with the third one.

Also, at Lone Star last week 2936, 2857, and 3320 did during quarter-finals too.

[SGK]

That's 175, 1519 and 176!!!

[tr6scott]

Also at Kettering..

Qualifications match 72, had three up, all on the top row.

2137, 302 and 494.

around 4:37 of the video.

Although seeing the Bee's do two by themselves is still impressive.

[Racer26]

Also fairly certain that the 217,2056,1518 alliance did it at FLR too.

[ChristopherSD]

Hopefully we'll see some more of these at the Michigan State Championship.

[GaryVoshol]

Hopefully we'll see some more of these at the Michigan State Championship.

I expect we may see 3 Ubertubes at each end some time at the MSC.

[Norman J]

I expect we may see 3 Ubertubes at each end some time at the MSC.

I absolutely expect both alliances in the finals to be capable of 3 autonomous ubertubes.

During finals, we were finding it more fun to cheer for ubertubes than either alliance in particular. I knew that one match almost all of them were hung, but I couldn't remember which one. Nice work guys :D

[Alex2614]

It was also done in Pittsburgh several times, with 1114 hanging two tubes by themselves almost every match.

yes sorry about that, just got the wrong number.

[waialua359]

Its impressive to see at a regional for any peg by all 3 teams, but at CMP, I'd only be equally impressed if 3 team alliances can do it on the top row on the same set of pegs.
54 points is a lot for one logo with ubertubes.

We were able to do it at NYC, and the main reason 395 and 359 chose 527 was because all 3 of us were capable of scoring ubertubes in auto.

[GaryVoshol]

Its impressive to see at a regional for any peg by all 3 teams, but at CMP, I'd only be equally impressed if 3 team alliances can do it on the top row on the same set of pegs. That would be impressive, but there is no score advantage of doing it. (The extra bonus on one Grid is offset by the lack of bonus on the other Grid.) So I would assume most teams would be content to get their points the "easy" way by dividing the Ubertubes between the Grids.

So I would assume most teams would be content to get their points the "easy" way by dividing the Ubertubes between the Grids.That's of course assuming you get a Logo on the other Grid. Then again, if we're talking about an alliance that can score 3 Ubertubes on the top row, that's seems pretty safe to assume.

But it would be (forgive me) uber cool. IRI anyone?

here is our video of this (second one down): http://thecatattack.org/media/recVid/
I love the dramatic pause, and everyone starts yelling "DROP! DROP! DROP! YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"
