An Inconceivable shot from beyond half court.

One of the many highlights for our team at Lake Superior:

Wow! Insane!

Watching a match from a robots perspective is awesome, and quite honestly a bit creepy. I wish I could watch more of these.

Nice our team is capable of the same feat, in theory we could hit from farther however the ceiling height of our workspace prevents us from doing so, we hope to make lots of half court shots at BMR

Did you really intend to let both go at once? Can you edit your youtube title misspelling? We should push for GoPro in the KoP next year. Good work and good luck.

I've got a bunch more... just about every match we played.

We can shoot 3-pointers from farther out, but the second ball would not have gone in.

I'd like to say it was all by design, but the second ball moved up a little too quickly.

Amazing... almost... INCONCEIVABLE!!! (insert Wallace Shawn's voice here) There were a lot of awesome shots that weekend.. did you have video of the winning three-point buzzer-beater in semifinals?

[rzoeller]

I remember watching this shot in person. Between that and the fact that your robot performed fantastically all around I was extremely impressed. Also, think about putting more of the videos up! They are cool to watch.

That's a great idea... It would help a lot to get more awareness of FIRST out to the public, since videos like the one here can be appreciated by people not even familiar with the game.

Im trying to hunt down video now, but I'm pretty sure 2826 made the throw.

And Thanks! It was definantly the farthest we've gotten at a regional, not to mention the most exciting... I don't think I've ever seen a match come down as closely as the first final match! -out of curiosity, how did you guy's manage to create a program to track so effectively? -it was really impressive! Actually, on that note, how did your qualification rank drop into the 20's when you were easily the highest scoring?

We only got Coop points twice during the qualifications, though not for lack of trying-- that and a few losses dropped us down. We finished 18th. But our matches racked up the 2nd most hybrid points.

In one sense, our tracking is extremely simple. In another sense it uses some extremely complex vision processing.

John is teasing you! Ruthlessly... that's pretty cruel! Just tell them, it's our NAI turret targeting system. Stop by our pit at 10,000 Lakes and pick up a bot data sheet to learn more.
