Favorite moments from Recycle Rush

[CadetGizmo]

This past year was my first (pun intended?) year in the FRC program. I went to most of the competitions and showed up at every single meeting. One of my favorite memories, though, was marching around the Quadrangle at Battlecry @ WPI while wearing a horse mask and singing the Little Einsteins theme song with people from other teams and even WPI students. It's silly, yes, but it was really a blast to see people who didn't even know each other gathering to march around and sing a kids show tune.

What are some other moments that you guys would like to share?

I would like to share the afternoon of Saturday, October 17, 2015. It hasn't happened yet, but that's going to be the last time I expect to see Recycle Rush played.

the moment Frank threw the bumper in the trash can....

I can enjoy it at least until January....

Copied from the IndyRAGE thread:

It was chilly, spitting rain, vans and trailers were lined up to load out, when one team's toolbox tipped and spilled onto the parking lot and sidewalk. Immediately about a dozen people, all in different t-shirts, converged on the site and made quick work of the mess. One of the girls stood up, looked around, and said, "Somebody should take a picture of this and put it on the website, because this is FIRST right here."

When our team was in first place towards the end of day one, even though we didn't have a working robot in any of our matches. (I am the noodle throwing human player) and had at least one 40 point match.

Our team was ranked 40/54 at the start of qualifications on the second day. We somehow jumped to 18th place with some great alliances before the end. It was fun to watch us climb up in a matter of a few hours.

I did almost the same thing, but i only had about 30 points and we weren't in 1st.

One of my favorite moments from this year is Carson SF6, where we scored 2 step totes. We practiced a lot to be able to do that for 4 points

[RacerX]

This was one our favorites, from the PNW District Championships.

We called it 'At the Buzzer'. Our drive team for #948 wanted to get one more tote, which had those of us in the stands holding our breath.....

Seeing the excitement of the drive team was priceless.....

Nope. It was with 246 and 3946. Team 246 had this arm that reached over the RC and stacked all three Yellow Totes during Auto. It was wicked fast and was fun to watch.
We then took the stack to the middle and placed them on a three stack that was already there from the other side.

One of mine was about a second later, when I saw Jesse's (head coach) jaw drop.

Winning our first regional was way up on the short list, as well.

I'm going to copy what I said in another thread, because it very much still applies.

Jaded retorts about being done with this game don't serve the purpose of this thread at all, and only belittle the opinions of those who are interested in this game.

There are times and places to appropriately express your discontent with FIRST or FRC game design. This is not one of them. Those posts are not productive. Not every single tangentially related thread needs to be filled with that kind of bile.
