HOLY MOSES!:yikes:

I can picture that thing on Einstein for sure.

**Applauding**

EDIT: perhaps along with 1114 = total domination XD

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Nice! Our team tried to conquer a hurdle like that, but were a bit too far away from the middle to make it over, did hit the overpass through.

It's called a tri-pod.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle

i was there, trapped, with team 1718.
469 above us, 217 to the left
453 below, 47 to the right, 27 to the right
who were we 'sposed to cheer for.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Why not cheer for everyone? :D
I know for a fact that all of the teams involved had a lot of fun regardless of whether the final outcome was in favor for them or not. I know I speak for more than one person here when I say that it was just plain fun:D

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

I dont think I could have had a better view... watching that ball fly towards me was quite intimidating... and exciting!

Great hurdle! It was great playing against you at detroit. Maybe we'll be together at GLR =D

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

I wonder what the drivers were saying during that.

Coach: You got five seconds left!
Driver: I'm gonna turn up here, and you're gonna shoot.
Operator: What?
Driver: Shoot!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

That was incredible. Very effective design. Good luck, although you might not need it.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

We're just happy we got it on film :p besides Detroit was too crowded to use a tripod.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Like the song says ( NICE SHOT MAN!!!!!).Cant wait to play with you guys and gals at great lakes.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Unbelievable. I love the way it comes down and picks the ball up, reminds me of a greyhound for some reason.

You guys are going to be a force to be reckoned with in ATL..

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

ROFL, you know.. ive been in such similar situations when i drove.. i think any good driving team who work good together get themselves in that kind of situation lol

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

I think that officially beats the end game impressiveness of the 968 hurdle, 1717 place, 294 knock of SD final 1.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

This isn't youtube buddy, please talk with a little more GP and respect.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

By a LANDSLIDE!

That match was amazing!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

I'm surprised it's the first hurdle of it's kind that I've seen.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Final score 124 to 106! Amazing match, and impressive hurdle!

Thanks for posting this.

And congrats on the Chairman's award.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

So much for our surprise in boston for everybody :rolleyes:

Really awesome though, good job guys.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

I hope 2337 was paying attention. Watch out, WMich!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

*side note.... was it a legal hurdle??? aka did it count for points???

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Sure. As long as it goes over the crossbar, between the uprights, in a ccw direction, and lands on the field or on another robot, it's valid.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

The only thing that could of made that better was if the angle was a bit more shallow, and it bounced off the outer wall's railing and landed on top of the rack at the end.

But we can't do everything now can we? ;)

Good job Team 27!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Hey, Is it a legal hurdle if your not in the Home stretch??
I was under the assumption that would not count

"

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

^ all that means is they weren't eligible for protection from hurdler interference. The act of HURDLING and an actual HURDLE are two very discrete things.


I second what Jimmy said. Seeing that out of the corner of my eye, sealed my awe and fascination with 27's bot. I recommend you guys watch the whole match instead of just the end; final score 124-106, it's one of the most intense and offensive matches there've been yet!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

It was certainly a HURDLE by this definition. Where the robots are is not important.

The robot indeed was not HURDLING according the next definition in section 7.2. However, that doesn't make a HURDLE impossible. It just means the robot is not granted protection from interference by other robots.

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

That is merely the definition of a robot in the act of completing a hurdle to clarify when impeding is not called and when interference can be called.

Bah, ya beat me to it!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Thank you i found the relevant information

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

that is probably the best hurdle ive seen so far.... great robot!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Wow guys, good job!! What a good regional to start of competition season! Makes me sad I couldn't be there... perhaps nationals?!?!? And Chairman's too... goodness you're making my class look bad!!

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Wowww! :yikes: That was a fantastic move at the end! Awesome robot and props to whoever drove it and launched that final hurdle. :D

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Ho. Lee. Cow.

You will be fearsome on Einstein. :yikes:

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

so glad this was recorded

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

Very nice. We did that once, although accidentally, over the wrong overpass. Right now though we are struggling to hurdle at all..

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

AWESOME ;O

Re: Team RUSH 27's amazing hurdle
 

The only other comparably good endgame move I've seen was this one:

It's much better to be watching things like this from home than from the opposing driver station. :p Awesome job, 27.
