Re: Video Request: 2002 Einstein Finals
Newton SF1-1 is simply the most dominant match I have ever witnessed in my 9 years of FIRST. Download the video and prepared to be awed.
In this match Beatty goes for their typical three goal move, but they're only able to grab two of the goals, as Team 67 gets in the way of their left arm. Unfortunately for HOT, Beatty latched on to the HOTbot with their gripper. So now HOT is attached to Beatty. 68, 67's partner, grabs the 3rd goal. Using their second gripper, they latch on to one of the goals that Beatty has.
So what we have, is 3 goals and 2 robots which are attached to Beatty somehow. This is 800 lbs. of weight. (3*180 + 2*130). 260 lbs. of this weight is fighting against Beatty. It doesn't matter. Team 71 proceeds to drag all 800 pounds with them as they move into their goalzone.
800 pounds!!!
It's almost been 5 years, and I'm still in awe.
