Re: Unexpected Plays That Make the Crowd Go Wild!

My "crowd goes wild" memory is from Archimedes 2004.

Rookie team 1241, Theory 6, had a unique strategy. Their robot opened up a large netted funnel to catch the deluge of game balls falling onto the field from over the alliance station. It would then drive to the corner and deliver all the balls to their human player for scoring in the goals. In practice matches, this was amazing to watch. They were definitely a team to pay attention to.

I think it was the Circuit Stompers who placed a large "doubling ball" atop 1241's hopper during their first qualification match, just before the purple game balls came pouring down. That moment was even more amazing to see.

I remember that moment when 67 did it during a replay at Great Lakes too. Up until then 1241 looked nigh unstoppable.

We made a shot from the bridge at the Bayou, 2012 I think? The crowd went nuts!

Re: Unexpected Plays That Make the Crowd Go Wild!

Our catch in Lubbock last year provoked quite a reaction from the crowd. Unfortunately, this was the only time it happened.

Re: Unexpected Plays That Make the Crowd Go Wild!

One of my all-time favorite matches was Quarterfinal 4-1 at IRI 2012. We (1676) were on the #3 (red) alliance, but since we were the fourth robot on the alliance, we were sitting out. As the 30 second bell rang, both alliances were tied up at 100 points each, and all 3 robots from each side headed to their bridges to triple balance, which both alliances successfully accomplished. As this was happening, a human player on our alliance (I think it was 469's human player) threw a full-court 2-point shot, putting us in the lead. However, then a human player on the opposing alliance threw a full-court 3-point shot, putting us down by 1 point. Our alliance's human player then threw ANOTHER 2-point shot in the final seconds, putting us up by 1 point, and winning us the match 104-103. Definitely on the top of my most memorable heart-pounding moments. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqJJnTFFEmgt=250

Re: Unexpected Plays That Make the Crowd Go Wild!

Also from 2012 for us...NYC quarterfinal 3, match 1. We had an underwhelming qualification performance and found ourselves on the #7 alliance and decided to take a shot at a triple balance strategy. The alliance (1635, 125 and 522) was made up of 2 long bots and a super short wide bot (522).

We attempted to practice a balance on the practice field before hand but were unable to get all of our robots to the field on time. After looking at the geometry of 1635 and 522 closely, we determined we could shove 522 up the angled part of 1635s frame using 522s pneumatic flap to help lift them over 1635s bumpers.

This was a total roll of the dice, completely untested. We had no idea if it would work, but we went for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p_LdLvHYYc&t=1m28s


We completed the maneuver 6 times and won the NYC regional.
