Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

Thanks for the compliment! We cooked it up between Portland and Seattle.

The view from the catwalk looks awesome! (I'm weird. I like heights, often more than I like the ground.)

Also entertaining to me: being able to identify not only Alistair (our robot) from that height (he was rather distinctive, wouldn't you say?), but our drive team (they're the ones whose heads are lit up. We had fun with LEDs this year, and plan to do more with them in the future).

(Parentheses are awesome.)

Newton

Not positive, but I think this is Galileo division, match 83.

Newton or Archimedes

It looks like
Newton, QM 84, part 1. the match that did not count.

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

Your Robot was unique and creative. I spent some time talking to your team in the queue and found them to be knowledgable and engaged.

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

Thank you, I amended my OP to reflect that. (Still recovering from the season)

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

Awesome. Thanks for the stills!

That was a nice full court bank shot off the pyramid

Pretty Certain this is another Match 90 on Newton:

This one is Archimedes, but I don't know which match...

I also have a bunch of catwalk photos of teams & people in my photoset. I have more coming, but I need some more editing time, so I only have the preview posted so far :)

It was an amazing opportunity to get up there and see things from a whole new perspective. I was absolutely amazed at how slow the frisbees from the full court shooters appeared to be from above!! Craziness!!

In order to be on the catwalk, they have to be....

too sexy for the floor. too sexy for the floor....

Sorry. Horrible early 90's music video flashbacks.

I almost repped you for that one... and then I hit my head on the desk instead.... ::sigh:: :D

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

I'm starting to think that I'm the only person on the planet that loved Lunacy.

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

most likely.
Lunacy was the Grumpy Cat of FIRST games.

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

hahaha. The only thing that it was missing was a good end game.

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

Lunacy was a great game behind the glass but an awful game to watch.

Re: Championship Matches from the Catwalk 2013
 

Okay, you've made me look at the catwalk photos from 2009, Lunacy, a much maligned game.

In retrospect (they say it takes twenty years to write history) I like it more than I thought I did.

Here's why:
The white regolith from the catwalk made for very cool photos. It made the competition pictures look like reverse images.

The game theory, where the goal was attached to your butt and close proximity made for vulnerability, was very high level. (though it made for many circle matches that looked like two dogs chasing each others tails)

Check it out.
