Re: An Inconceivable shot from beyond half court.
 

The GoPro's have their own plexy case, so not likely to become floor trash in a match. Especially if you can mount in a concave area of the bot. There aren't so many balls flying around near the bot that it would be taken out that way. But we saw many top-heavy tip overs where another bot's upper assembly could give you a heavy smacking on a bridge.

These matches are extremely intense. I was standing behind the driver on the field and didn't even realize we'd made this fantastic double shot.

Field-level visibility was an element that we definitely under appreciated. Balancing goes pretty well when you only have a 15 foot tether and sit the driver right in front of the bridge profile. ...now try it again from the far side of the bridge from a driver station straight in line with the bridge. You tip the bridge and lose all visibility of your bot. ...unless your driver is about 8.5 feet tall.

I used my Robot Inspector credential to watch one match this regional from behind the scorer's table - you guessed it, this one!

When I saw the shot, I saw the second ball and thought, oops! Then I saw the first ball go in for 3 and heard the whole crowd erupt. I didn't even realize the second ball went in the 1 point basket until I saw the video.

This is definitely one of the most impressive things I've ever seen any of our robots do. I showed it to my class today and they erupted in cheering when they saw it!

Amazing shot, and this video inspired me to add a wide-angle camera to our robot during this upcoming weekend's Los Angeles Regional

Our on-board video is some cool stuff. You won't be sorry!

I installed a Freestyle HD (similar to GoPro) in the Long Beach regional this weekend, the footage is well worth it!!
Here's one of the our team's videos (18 point autonomous, and we do a backflip off the coopertition bridge at the end):

Thanks again for the great idea!
