Re: How many teams have sucessfully done a triple balance?

1023 has had 4 successful tripple balances all with 469 and 3175.

I believe we attempted 6 during eliminations, but we tipped over when we were trying to tripple balance in our first semi-final match. Luckily 469 and 3175 we still able to double balance without us. It was an exciting and scary match. Not much damage was done to our robot though. You can see the video here:

You can hear me screaming "STOP" when our robot's about to fall off. I apologize to the cameraman of 469 for screaming out of control.

Re: How many teams have sucessfully done a triple balance?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the very first triple balance... 148, 2936, and 922 at Alamo. We did it successfully three times, and attempted it two more. And Scorpion is now sporting one of 67's great Loch Ness Monster decals to commemorate the moment! (Thanks Adam and Jim!)

...and advanced to the Semi Finals because that triple balance made them win the third QF match by a single point. It was incredible.

Re: How many teams have sucessfully done a triple balance?

for semi finals at denver, we played against 3 wide orientation robots, 1157 and 2 others whose numbers I don't remember. on the second match of the semifinals, they beat us with a triple balance (their second of the regional). for the third match we parked perpendicular to their bridge and just sat there for the last minute while they pushed against us. It seems to be really easy to defend against if our experience at Denver is anything to go by

Re: How many teams have sucessfully done a triple balance?

Teams 245, 3452, and 494 triple balanced against us in Niles (q4 match 1). They would have gotten it in match 2 as well, but they had something touching the field perimeter (I couldn't tell from the stands, but it looked like it was just a piece of plastic), so imo they got that one in spirit.

Definitely exciting to watch it happen no matter who is doing it.

Re: How many teams have sucessfully done a triple balance?

As noted in previous posts.

At the Boston Regional, teams 3958,121 and 1350 did a triple balance in the 3rd match of our QF giving us the win by 1 point and advancement to the SF.
It brought the entire stadium to their feet - it was incredible!

Many Thanks to Teams 3958 and 121 for picking us to join their alliance. We had a great time!
Congrats to teams 341,246 and 233 for winning the event.
Your speed and shooting accuracy was awesome!

See you in St. Louis
