Re: TRIPLE BALANCE

Well, it almost happened at Kettering in Michigan today!! 1322, 2137 and 302. We had it balanced for a second or 2 but alas it wasn't meant to be! Thank you 2137 and 302 for being great partners and from what we were told, if we had last a few seconds longer we would have been 1st to do it! Great pic and congrats to the teams who accomplished that great feat!

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE

At the Kettering Competition in Michigan today, during the quarterfinals (against teams 2337, 4294, and 33) teams 1322, 2137, and 302 almost managed to get the triple balance. Here's two stills from the video that was taken of our attempt, and the aftermath.

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE

We had it for about 1-2 seconds then somebody slipped and we lost it. It was great to see it get even that close. Good job 1322 and 302! Not half bad for an 8 seed alliance.

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE

At GSR a double balance was rare enough that I do not think that anyone tried a triple.

Is there any video?

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE

Here's a video of our match with the attempted triple balance. And I know that our team at least had no problems at all with getting two robots on the bridge - balanced pretty much every single time. Same went for a few other FIRST teams at the Kettering competition.

Video of match.

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE

Here is the only video I could find of a 148-alliance triple balance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYcqFdbgc4

Was 148 really going for the 2-point hoop the whole time?

It also looks like their pneumatic tires make turning difficult.

If anyone else had links to video of the Alamo finals we would all love to see them.

Re: TRIPLE BALANCE

From the webcast, 1661 appeared to be supported on the field side rail. I'm not sure why they were given 20 points though...

I forget which number, but the team on the right side(when watching the webcast) was supported by something (I believe the field barrier). But the confusion comes in in how it was counted as 20 points...
