I love that the head referee celebrates when all 6 robots go up

That's Kansas City for you!

Just happened again in the quals late today at the Autodesk Oregon Regional.

I wonder if it would be even physically possible to put 6 FRC robots on one bridge. Even piled one on top of another, I think 6 robots would just be too unstable...

On a slightly less hypothetical note, I don't think we can rule out all six robots balanced on 6 bridges ever. There are a lot of matches in an FRC season, and bridge balancing is not all that uncommon, even in weeks one and two. Even last year where (in my opinion) the endgame was much more challenging, four mini-bots did happen a couple of times per regional in eliminations. FRC is too big a place for 6 robots not to happen at least once, in my opinion.

Thank you; I was watching over the webcast and I'm STILL in awe over all of the Elimination matches I've seen today. Week two has absolutely stunned me with all of the "records" that have been broken. Teams have broken the 100 point barrier, triple balanced on a regular basis, pulled off a double triple balance, and I'm sure there's plenty more to come. I really can't wait to see MSC, and even more excited to see IRI this year

A double triple balance in F1-1 at Waterford Districts!
Congrats to teams 67, 2851, 469, 3601, 3098, 573!

Thanks to 67, 2851, 573, 3098, and 3601 for a great finals and pulling off the first double triple of the season!

The crowd went wild when it happened, I'm sooooo glad I was there to see it.

Car Nack appears to be 0-2 is he slipping up?

I believe the basketball term is a triple-double...

I also think that Car Nack needs a new crystal ball.

[JosephC]

Actually upon further review of the OP.

If a is referring to a single bridge I agree with Car Nack on this one.

A triple double is double digits in three stats. Double triple would be what he was going for.
