Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Hey everyone! I am looking to put together another video like I did for Rebound Rumble- available here on YouTube- and I need your help!

I am looking for YouTube links to the best competition moments in Aerial Assist. These can include, first solo two ball auto, first solo three ball auto, first truss toss and catch, first perfect cycle, first perfect auto, great plays etc.

The final video will premiered on the FRC Top 25 show next week! Stay tuned to the FRCTop25 "Post Championship" thread for details on that show.

Thanks everyone! I look forward to seeing all of these videos!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

I feel like if this was a question asking about the best moments of Aerial Assist someone would say, "it ending."

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

You mean like this? ;)

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

First solo 2-ball/hot goal auto?
624 at the Alamo Regional, Q11

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Einstein. Like, all of Einstein. Especially the final three matches.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Exactly.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Definitely try to show all of the different ways teams went about getting 3 assists at champs, particularly the 3 seed, 5 seed, and 8 seed on Archimedes. The 254 v. 1114 chess match on Einstein was epic. Some other great matches were Waterloo semifinals with 254 and 2056, inland empire finals match 2 when 399 caught two balls en route to a win, 2481 had some great shooting moments in Galileo elims... I could go on for a while but these were the moments that stuck out to me.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

In qualification match 42 of the Northeastern District, one side of 3467's rings snapped. Luckily because of the symmetry our robot fad this year, we were able to spin 180 degrees around and still make a 10 point shot with seconds remaining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJM_RzFtGCw (around 2:20)

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Strangest high goal score? Watch the blue ball at 1:32. This is definitely at the top of my "what just happened" list.

http://youtu.be/hJ7wODfquuI?t=1m31s

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Wut? *do not pick - actively helps opponents score*

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

On the other hand... Do pick, they don't get Technical Fouls for G12 violations. (At IRI, that'll probably be no foul at all...) Fastest possession I've ever seen...

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

If you can find video of it, during Qualification match 81 on archimedes 1671 makes what I believe to be the farthest (albeit unintentional) catch in Aerial Assist: a 45 ft toss falls just short of the human player and lands in their robot.

Also, you've got to include one of the 1918 death cycles.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

604's epic auton fail.
http://youtu.be/VL4Wn39yMmQ

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

I'm impartial to a few cool moments that we experienced this season.

At 2:20 in this video the front side of our shooter ring snaps meaning the ball is no longer supported and at first reaction our shooter is dead. Our drivers reacted quickly with the time left on the clock and just shot out the back of the robot for a last second score.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJM_RzFtGCw

At 1:54 in this video our partners 58 The Riot Crew missed just high but the ball bounced off of the low goal in and in for 10 points.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eECBBpVQ88Y

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

The blue alliance shot here was pretty cool: http://youtu.be/mcUh0H_ROuk?t=2m15s

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

All 3 Einstein matches.
Watching 254 and 1114 during autonomous was amazing.

My personal favorite moment from my team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THMe...utu.be&t=2m27s
Crowd went crazy. Even the refs were cheering!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s9v3v0I4SQ#t=129

Quick thinking by our operator: Red team under defence shot ball from the right side of the field to the high goal on the left.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

http://youtu.be/N9WVpRloRoQ?t=44s

Watch the red ball.

Oh and also, when that Paper Airplane made it onto the stage when Dean was speaking.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

25 may disagree it happens alittle after 2:12
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm5oK...k6ZAa&index=44

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Match 2 at the FIRST in Michigan Southfield District - Week 1. 33 catches truss shot from 573 at 2:10.


http://youtu.be/n-ZHapIVG_c

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Highest scoring match (with fouls)

With the high score on the red side, nobody ever notices blue's auton (3360) makes the most ridiculous low goal score I have ever seen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dqfvNaEJVk

^that was insane.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Here's a 60-point cycle from the Montreal Regional Q21. Watch the red alliance : 3975 (we're the ones that caught the ball :cool:), 1075 and 3117. I don't know if it's the first one of the competition or not, but it's fun to watch either way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MhRsFEF_BQ

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Did anyone at the NASA Ames pre-ship scrimmage get video of Team 100 shooting out a polycarbonate panel from the driver station wall?

Or 1323 hitting the A/V truss about 20 feet above the goal at CVR?

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Wow, I stand corrected. :yikes:

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

There was a similar occurrence on Newton during a match. I think it bounced off the pedestal.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

My favorite hail-merry shot I made all season.

http://youtu.be/JBT2m48e48Y?t=2m23s

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

I'm sure it happened in other games, but at 2:01 in this game, two balls collide over the truss.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dpOBd8Hyrg

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Someone should find a good example of 2451's alliance in Curie. Awesome cycles with a lot of great passing and driving involving all 3 human players and all 3 robots.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

at about 1:10 into this video the ball is punctured and goes very flat very fast. Great recovery by field personel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLsBNxcIKjw

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Team 3476's autonomous fail, and win. They even got a hot goal because of the fail. I chuckle at this every time I watch it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufF0g_Tj0ts

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Do you also have a video for Ultimate Ascent like this because the one for rebound rumble is fantastic :D.

All sister teams on an alliance was amazing but we made history for halton!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

We had a moment here on Archimedes where we shot a ball over a truss, it hit the other ball, bounced off our 3rd robot and was caught by 1939.

http://youtu.be/86rI33Eaxc8?t=2m13s

Watch at 2:15. Just about a 1 in a million.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Did this count as a catch? Seems like it should

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

I would think so, it technically follows the definition of a catch I believe.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Archimedes Qual 109 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QwqgNls44E
We approached 33 and 1671 about a particular strategy we thought all our bots could really play well, and they accepted it with a few contingency plans in case it didn't work. The first 2 cycles we are getting a feel for it, but by the 3rd cycle we were all on our game and it made for awesome 3 assist cycles!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Please include this, the first alliance to really put on a clinic in week 1 and show how this game should be played.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

It did not contact the human player. It did not contact the carpet. It did not contact the robot shooting over the truss. It was possessed (carry OR trap, your choice) by a robot of the proper alliance.

That better have been counted as a catch... assuming the refs weren't too busy picking their jaws up off the floor from the shock.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

First 3 ball auto. Southfield District Qual 80 - 33

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

A bit blurry but what about this?

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...91561563075025

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Including bizarre ways? How about the infamous "touch and go" strategy of 1511 during the Finger Lakes Regional? :cool:

Please include an example of a 60 point cycle!

And our favorite play of the day at Champs, when 971 (I think) blocked all the opponents balls in autonomous on Newton.

(Sounds like 973, Greybots, may have done the same thing in Galileo.)

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Amazing - our team pursued the exact same strategy in the Curie eliminations. One of the other pit crew was explaining it to me and I'm sure I gave him a "You're going to WHAT?" look... but darn if it didn't work. You can almost picture the defense pausing and saying "What the heck did they just do?"

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Galileo Q36 had one of the most epic finishes I'd seen all year. Down 5 points with time quickly winding down, 67 frantically got the ball on the inbound and, with heavy defense from multiple robots pushing them away from the truss, pulled the trigger on a hail mary truss shot as the buzzer sounded. It hit the top of the truss and then bounced over securing them a 5 point victory. It was pretty awesome.

Check out the 2:30 mark of the video to see for yourself.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Thanks for the shoutout! Here's some links for some of our more impressive shots.

Galileo F1-2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BioFrI-X_BI (check out the 0:40, 1:44, and 2:20 marks)

Galileo F1-3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY3yPpqwjXY (check out the 0:40*, 1:20, and 1:55 marks)

Einstein SF1-1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AD1tzNgM40 (check out the 0:36, 1:10, and 2:00 marks)

*These are my personal favorites...mostly because of the reactions from our alliance partners that are forever etched on my brain. Love you guys! :D

We also had one of those epic bounce-off-multiple-robots-catches in Galileo Q92, I believe. That one I know I haven't seen video of...and, to be honest, as it happened I wasn't even sure if it was counted as a catch or not. Truly crazy. I'll definitely post a link to that once I find video of it.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

No problem! You guys were one of my favorite robots this year so I'd love to see those videos myself!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

I think the best moment for us was the FLR finals, match #1.

3015, 340 & 3044 vs 1507, 20 & 378.

3 vs 2 match because 340 was broke.......

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbVxCrA5-u8

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

We didn't think it was so awesome ;) Obviously it worked out in the end for us though!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

oh come on, guys! admit it, when it happened, a little part of you went "ok, I know we just lost, but that was a pretty awesome way to lose." :D

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

It was definitely a nail biter.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Don't get me wrong, we completely understand where you're coming from. We had a very similar 4 point loss in Q110 that was decided in the final few seconds. Still, fun as hell to be a part of though. lol

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Also, at 2:13 in this video, the ball goes in the goal and stays on the plastic for a while, not sure which way it would go.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Definitely. It was one of our most exciting matches through the season. Although I think our second semi final match at Chesapeake against 233 was even more of a nail biter.

Has some good footage of Einstein, and probably the best angle yet of the final goal of the 2014 season.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Newton Division Q84. 60 point cycle and lucky catch off from field element that had the refs talking for a while about 1 minute in. Lots of good defense.

I didn't get to tune into the show tonight - any way the youtube link to the video can be posted?

The Best Moments video is currently up on www.frctop25.com and also available on our YouTube channel. I hope everyone enjoys what Mike was able to put together.

We hope you will all join us for our pre-IRI show!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Was just watching this one again, and 1939 did catch the ball. Also, the ball blocked the other team's truss shot. That was cool too.

Still lost the match, but that was a great moment.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

The epic one point high goal save by 4592 (my team)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFim4yzF-qI

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

You won that match by 20 points. :rolleyes:
(So that shot got your alliance 10 points for the catch, and prevented us from getting 10 points for getting the truss. It could be argued that the shot influenced the outcome of the match.)

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

10K Lakes Quarter 2-1, 2705 shoots it into the low goal in auto.

10K Lakes Quarter 2-2, 2705 passes it to 3202 in auto, who puts it into the low goal at the start of teleop.

Either one of these would have been lucky, but doing these back-to-back is pretty ridiculous.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

That is match 125. Our teams won that match. 2996, 1939, and 2907. With a score of 157-137 us.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

In the longest truss catch, there is a mistake. The trusser is team 203, not team 1671.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Thanks for the correction, there weren't many that went our way, and it took some excellent work from 2996 and 2907 and a lot of luck to win against a very good red alliance in that one. Blue Cheese had a great machine.

If nobody has posted already. That's given a lot of people I know a good laugh...

I would think getting footage of rookie teams experimenting with a functional prototype or robot for the first time would be pretty meaningful.

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

You can see me on the left of the Blue Cheese driver station at the very end!

Re: Best Moments of Aerial Assist
 

Just found an amusing truss shot by 3539 which bounces off of the ref stand an cause the ref flag to fly onto the field. An FTA grabbed it quickly from the field! :yikes:

I wonder if that human player's feet were glued to the ground.
