shot from the bridge

[Nolo]

2481 made a shot off of the coop bridge. The announcer thought it was from a human player. The shot was made around the 3:15 mark in the video.

1296 shot a 2-pointer from the blue alliance bridge while balanced with 1421 at Dallas West this weekend.

The video shows the ball being shot, but you don't get to see the actual basket being made. I'm hoping some better video surfaces soon.

103 managed to hit two three point shots from the coopertition bridge at Mt. Olive in the last couple of seconds. The driver realized he had two balls left and just cranked up the wheel speed and the balls hit the backboard perfectly.

Haha, I figured they'd done this on purpose. It was definitely awesome, and looked so effortless. I ran into a few people in my hotel that night who were curious about what on Earth kind of event I was refereeing. I said it was called FIRST Robotics and the coolest thing I'd seen that day was a 150lb robot balance with another one on a teeter-tooter and and then score basketballs from 30 feet away. They showed up Sunday to check it out.

Thanks, Cybersonics

My team, 1296, hit a two pointer from our bridge once we double balanced with 1421 in our first semi final match at the Dallas West Regional!

You are most certainly welcome! I think our drivers surprised themselves. It was awesome and our whole team went nuts!

We haven't had a chance to do it in competition, but we've done it in practice.

Our drive team practiced shooting from the bridge. So it was very cool to watch them pull it off in Portland.

Qualification Match 65

Favorite part is the announcer yelling (@4:30) "There's a SOTAbot sinking it, nothing but net! Twice!"

Also had all 3 bridges balanced that match...too bad we didn't win it!

My team (FIRST team 2481) made a 3-point basket from the Coop bridge at the Wisconsin regional. The announcer thought that a human player had made it in our match too. You can hear him in the video. Sorry for the video quality, but it does show us shooting and making the 3-point shot if you skip ahead near the end of the video (about 3:14).

Here is the link to our bridge shot. Choose the Dallas West tab and scroll down to Semi 1-1 and it is at 3:09 when we take the shot! It was one of the coolest moments the whole regional. Many people thought our semis against the #1 seeded alliance should have been the finals, but here is our half court shot! Enjoy
