Not a GIF but they posted a really nice shot of our robot at Greater Toronto Central on the FIRST Canada Facebook page.

This would have been in quarterfinals.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

I accidentally posted this to the wrong thread, but this is team 5031 at Greater Toronto East, during match 51.

I don't know if this would qualify for the contest, I just like watching this robot.
Waterbury Qualification 25, 2785 gets blind-sided

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Oh Man! I just can't watch that video too often. I am sorry 2785 but it just kills me every time.

As to Dukes of Stronghold, I am going to give it the thumbs down. Might be an honorary Triple Turtle (together with its two partners), but not Dukes... ...at least not in my book.

first PNW entry

GTRE practice matches, this happened :eek:

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

I... Wait, what?? :eek:

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Well... uh... yikes!

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Not 100% sure if this counts but amusing none the less.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

My opinion (worthless, of course): That should count...

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

I'll allow it.

Let's throw it in the mix and see where the voting shakes out (yeah, we get to vote this week. Yay!).

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

We were in Queue, and had an almost front row seat for this. It was absolutely hilarious! I'm glad it was caught on video. :D

Wasn't he shooting at the wrong tower?

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

I already submitted one for last week, but this is even better. In autonomous, 5089 does a wheelie to get started on the rock wall, and then used it to propel them to new heights. Even better, they come to a stop shortly after landing, proving you don't have to crash into the wall if you catch air and your encoders lose counts.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

This is from the first Kettering competition in Michigan. No clue what was happening but it went on and on.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Kettering week one, Autonomous mode ends and apparently our arm control was in the wrong direction. Robot poised on the obstacle, arm goes up, driver moves slightly and WHOOPS, over she goes.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

We didn't catch all that much air, but I think some style points are deserved for the steamroller. Sorry 5197!

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

I don't want to tamp down anyone's free spirit and it is not that I don't love these other robot fiascoes but I'm really hoping for more Dukes of Hazzard-eque Dukes of Stronghold submissions this week.

I know they are out there. Let's find them and submit them this week.

Cheers,
Dr. Joe J.

Submitting this from Mount Vernon Qual Match 13, they might not have gotten the best air, but the sync makes it awesome

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

2169 and 1094 were both getting some crazy airtime over defenses this weekend at CIR. Video should hopefully start popping up soon. I heard "robot that can fly" mentioned multiple times when talking about 2169, specifically. Those tires, man...those tires. Nicely done, guys.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

So we felt it was bland just flying over obstacles, we decided to add some flair

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Lol. Awesome.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Yup. I'm waiting for videos to be posted on Blue Alliance to submit. If not, we have videos our team members took, but our seating didn't always have the greatest shot of the hops.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Yeah, that is my team. Yeah, I was the drive coach.

We needed the breach, and I wanted my driver to try and push them through. Needless to say he put a little more throttle down than anticipated. :yikes:

We checked on both teams after the match, luckily the one we drove over had a lexan shield entirely over the top of the robot. No damage to either team. (Phew :) )

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Yes, yes it does!

Dr. Joe J.

P.S. Get your gifs in soon as I'll be starting a new poll soon... JJ

Good entries so far but I think I have seen better just at the 2 competitions I've attended (NEF-UMassD & NEF-Reading). There are better gifs to be made, I promise you.

Get your entry in by tomorrow night when I start the poll for Week 3.

Dr. Joe J.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Ugh need to find our best one, our team is the best to watch at this because of the drive system.

It gets interested at 1:50.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Someone had a really good one at Ventura practice today. If they'd stayed on their wheels... I'll have to try and find it, but if someone else does, they're welcome to it.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Not a gif. Gif it and resubmit for future weeks.

Context: 2815 was getting crazy air all weekend at Rocket City. In this match 3861 got hung up in the moat. 2815 pushed them through, then tried to give them one last push to secure the breach for the blue alliance...

Get back in there and play defense!

Smoky Mountain Regional Finals Match 1: 4264 ramping a rock wall... and 4740! Few robots were harmed in the making of this gif.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Wait, someone is getting a penalty there. Is it the jumpee or the jumper that gets the flag? I THINK it should be the blue robot but that seems to be adding insult to injury no?

Dr. Joe J.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

When I asked this as a theoretical situation, albeit in the reverse direction, the head ref stated that it should be a red card for the jumping robot for damage inside the frame perimeter but a foul on the jumped robot for contacting a robot in the outer works.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Was anything damaged? Contact inside the frame perimeter isn't illegal.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

It was the blue robot (jumpee) who was penalized, and then sat dead for more than a minute before resurrecting themselves for a little defense and a capture in the end.

The red robot (jumper) died 10 seconds after this jump in the opponents courtyard and never came back to life. This unfortunately gifted a couple of scales to the opponents, and cost their own alliance the capture.

I think this is the first entry taken from a driver station pole. It has a nice angle.

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Wait, did that boulder go under the low bar?

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

That's one fast robot!

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

93 pounds and a 14" robot, so we can move around quite quickly, yes :)

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Red vs. Blue?

Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
 

Dear CD,

Thanks to Daniel Ernst, FiM photographer, our sister team, 1188, was able to some serious Dukes of Stronghold action pictures taken at the Southfield FiM district event.

After seeing these pictures I hope most folks conclude that this is one rough competition that is easy to miss without such great pictures.
