Re: Most... um... "entertaining" autonomous.

I don't have a video of it, but in one of our first practice matches in Atlanta our robot "Break Danced." Those who saw it will agree that it was one of the most extraordinary auto-modes of 2007.

Our robot raised its arm to full height and bounced in a circle for 30 seconds - at each moment almost loosing contact with the ground !

It was one of the most terrifying sights I have ever seen....

This was NOT supposed to happen, and it resulted from mechanics related turning problems that were later solved with omni-wheels.
