Re: Our robot did something unique(?) at the New England Championship
 

It was a great set of playoff matches. I was watching with some newcomers to FRC and they were incredibly impressed with the event and the teams.

That's why there is such an extensive and rigorous physical training program for field tech staff*
It's not just the robots that are finely tuned machines!

This same thing happened at Indcmp with 1741 and 5402. Still pulled away with a score of 108

It also happened at the Michigan Championship, but I cannot remember what match. The tipped over bot almost got themselves upright by what looked like their own can burglar. Then their partner helped finish them off. That got a standing ovation. Couldn't tell you what else happened in that match. :)

Guys, here is some better video of quarterfinal 2 with the video from our driver station and the go pro inside the robot.

I love seeing things like this. I actually cheer when I see something like this it gets me so excited.

Our robot tipped over during one of our matches at GTR Central. Another alliance robot tried to use its fork to right us, but we asked them to stop because our RoboRio and other control boards were mounted awfully close to where they were trying to lift. We didn't want to risk damaging the wiring or electronics.
