OK Mike, for coolness factor, how about getting all those teams through inspection on Friday? Before we were allowed in on Friday morning, they made an announcement that fewer than 50% of the teams had passed inspection, and to please lend aid to help other teams. I walked through the pits to help out, and found that I couldn't tell who's pit was who. There were sometimes people from 3 or 4 different teams in one pit helping them get ready. I guess I was slow, because I couldn't find a team that need more help than they already had. That is coopertition!
As for my coolest moment, it had to be our second semifinal match. Not because we won, but this was the only time during the competition (or any FIRST competition in my experience) where everything went exactly as planned. Autonomous did exactly what we wanted it (all three teams, it looked like a ballet performance) The drivers all drove to perfection, nothing broke, the other team played well, no penalties, no hard feelings... I didn't feel like I needed to throw up afterwards....
Anyway, as poor as the camera work is, here is a
highlight reel of that match.
