Re: Amazing robot plays

Here are some stories boasting our own awesomeness

1) It was a match on Saturday morning of the BAE GSR. We were paired with 1138 and 1247. Our robot was build in the wider-than-long orientation so we couldn't get up the ramp. It was a fairly boring game cause there were few robots that could score until we agreed to have 1138 push us up the ramp.
1247 got up first, then we were pushed up, and in the last second of the game 1138 managed to find themselves on the ramp. The sound that erupted from our team was incredible. It was such a good feeling to be able to get up the ramp.

We would have tied had 1138 not gotten up the ramp.

2) A match on the Friday of the BAE Regional. We weren't feeling to good cause our robot can't score, plus we ended up going up against one of the strongest shooters. Our programmer said that it might not shoot, and that he wasn't sure yet. So, we angled our robot towards the path of the sharp shooter and collided with them in autonomous keeping them from scoring. Their plastic omni-wheels didn't help the situation as we then proceeded to push them all over the field.

3) Again, the BAE Regional. I forget all of the match details, and what teams were involved. We were queing for the match where we got on the ramp. through a series of odd and confusing events, five 'bots find themselves not in their intended orientation amongst the ramp on the red alliance's side. A picture was posted as "Great Defensive Strategy" or something like that.
