I heard that it was planned by the participating teams. Also, I wasn't saying that 1241 can't triple, just that they haven't shown that they can yet. And for teams that rely on scouting (like both 2056 and 188), what you say you can do doesn't matter; it's what you actually do on the field that counts.

Regardless, I still say that people are discounting long robots or perhaps overemphasizing the importance of wide robots in terms of triple balances. After all, if there's anywhere robots will hang impossibly far off the end of the bridge, it's IRI.

Watching that from the stands, it was pretty much solid and then someone moved, trying to go back to just a regular coop. If they were trying to, I think that balance would have stuck.
Ahh, ok. I was watching from the Archimedes stands, so obviously my view of the event was rather poor. It was looking rather shaky even before they all slid off, but once again, I didn't have that great of an angle.
