Working on that...but it wasn't anything special. Perhaps I should leave y'all in the dark such that the play remains something of hyperbolic legend.

Also - thank you Patrick! Very much appreciated!

It wasn't the play that was impressive. It was the gall to even try it that had everyone buzzing. If you were wrong any chance of victory probably would have gone out the window right then and there.

The 48 defensive DNA lies dormant in the drive train. It's impossible to forget.

It was special enough to have me freaking out on the other end of the field...

I repeat. I never want to be on the opposite side of the field at 48 ever again. Just too scary.

Unfortunately Leeland 48 has grown quite attached to the Rah Cha Cha Ruckus.

True dat.

Here's something I threw together - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrwGN...ature=youtu.be


By the way, we and 340 collide pretty dang violently in one scene in this vid. They took the licks and kept on ticking. They hung in all three matches against us, although we were able to slow them down enough in the last two matches to win. A side benefit was we drew the attention of their alliance partners, keeping them distracted as well. So good job to 340 for building a resilient and crowd-pleasing machine!

I have uploaded the elimination matches here, I know everyone was looking for these.

I'm hoping to have the qualification matches that I have recorded up later this week, if anyone is looking for something specific let me know.

I would like the entire Semifinal 2 match 1, with all of that empty time that it took me and the rest of the crew to get the scores right. haha.

I would like to thank 3173 and 250 for selecting us as their bouncer!!! Both great teams and made our tournament when they came over after. What fantastic GP - something we are still working on given the turnover we had this year. We learned a ton at FLR and not just about competition/robots.

We are fixing our disc loader and adding in two more drive CIMs before Cincy!!! Just in case we end up in a similar situation, we will have twice the power Bummer we aren't going to Cleveland with most of the other local teams, but scheduling didn't work out.

Thank You and we wish you the best the rest of the season.

BTW, we have some photos and vids on our FB page and loading more as we have time. https://www.facebook.com/CircuitStompersFirstTeam378

So here's the best vid I could find of our gambit in Finals Match #2:

This series really should have gone to a third match - it deserved that kind of ending. Next time, we'll hang faster.

Bonus video of our "dancing" driver.

If a Karthik falls off a pyramid, does it make a sound?

Karthik would not simply fall of the pyramid

I was watching the webcast, it felt like a flash back to me. I remember being on the opposite end of 48's defense back in 2007. It was a scary thing back then. It's much better to be on the same side of the field as them.

Can't wait to see it in action live, sad that they will not be in Pittsburgh this year, but looking forward to checking the robot out at Queen city.
