Thanks to you to. We did great.

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

This is great proof that even long robots can balance! Nice work

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

Interesting! I never would have suspected that you could turn robots across their wheelbase and push them to balance. I can tell how excited the teams were to get that amazing balance!

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

Did they count the first match as being balanced?

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

No. They were supported by the edge of the field in their first match.

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

They did not count the balance as a triple balance because the third robot was partially supported by the rail... (See the shot of the final score that only shows 20 bridge points).

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

I find it interesting that they still counted it as two robots being balanced.

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

They did originally, then they went back and took away the score for the two robot balance and counted it as no robots balanced.

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

The right decision. I wondered why they gave them the 20 pts for a balance bridge...

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

Good job! This gives me hope that we can attempt 3 robots.

Re: Triple Balance Video
 

First of all great job balancing. I would not have predicted much success on the Triple Balance task given these three robots but you did a great job making it happen.

The second thing that I noticed is that in the last match the blue alliance only had to successfully complete a Double Balance to advance to the next round... but once they saw the Triple Balance by red, they seem to totally panic and when you panic on the bridge, usually a robot ends up flipping off the side of the bridge (ask 148 -- they seemed to totally lose it in their last match at the Alamo).

Message to my drivers: Don't Panic!

Nice video! You captured the lows and highs of the Quarter Final round which, as a spectator there, was intense. The crowd loved that you came back after the first triple attempt and successfully did it 2 more times! Great team work. And congrats Team 1661 on getting the Industrial Design Award!

A few more triple then last week, but a Double triple balance and the 67/469/2851 going 5/6 on it is just amazing.
