Roomba Match
I heard a bridge was having balancing issues and the culprit was a Roomba stuck under it and it became dislodged during the match. Can someone post a link to the match video?

Re: Roomba Match
The match was Curie QF 1-1.

Interestingly enough, had the roomba remained under the bridge it wouldn't have had any effect on the match. |
Re: Roomba Match
Yea, the roomba was under Daisy's bridge, IIRC even if the other team double balanced 254/341/78 would have still won the match without needing a robot on the bridge. Also interesting was that in the replay match the score was much much closer and Daisy et al had to balance to win.

Re: Roomba Match
Aww, the roomba wanted to make friends with the big robots so it stowed away! Silly roomba, FIRST is for kids (and mentors)
My question is how they didn't notice that the roomba was missing, and why under the bridge wasn't the first place they looked. |
Re: Roomba Match
I think we would have successfully completed the triple balance even with the Roomba under the bridge (the three-robot train had already started on their way up), but I understand why the match was stopped.

Re: Roomba Match
They put out 1-3 of them at any given time, when you're doing pickup it may not have been the same person who picked them all up. I can see how this would have been overlooked and since it didn't affect the eventual outcome it was more of a "chuckle about this" occurance.

They stopped the match because of a Roomba. It was just water under the bridge. :D

Re: Roomba Match
Match 17 on Newton was played with a flag on the field.

Re: Roomba Match
On a similar note, every so often, matches get started with one of the field gates open, sometimes with a ramp deployed, sometimes with the protective cover dislodged.
It happened once at SVR this year, and I've seen it in the past elsewhere. |
Re: Roomba Match
They probably thought it was a troll bot :D must be somebody wasn't reading the team updates.

Re: Roomba Match
Isn't that the name of the game...
Roomba Rumble? |
Re: Roomba Match
You know back in my day we had an upright vacuum called the Placebo Bot.
It actually did drive around the field intentionally when the matches were on going. I'd like to see someone loose a full size Hoover. You kids and your miniaturization! Hobbles out on my cane. |
Re: Roomba Match
Next year they should make Roombas the game piece. They're not very effective at vacuuming the rug that's for sure.

Re: Roomba Match
Make a fake Roomba charger infrared beacon and get the Roombas to balance the bridge with you.
