The Triple Tortuga is Contest born.

No video, but we had a couple of tortugas at the SCRRF Scrimmage. Ramparts got one, Moat got another one or two. Moat claimed the tipped robot, crossed and then landed on its back.

This was the first one I saw. I honestly didn't expect the portcullis to make people flip like that.

I know it's a little mean and I shouldn't smile and that this is FIRST and we don't do these kind of things. And, I'm sorry for the team involved, but I just can't look away. That tortuga just comes out of NOWHERE. Things are going so well it seems and then the Cosmic Turtle just reaches a finger out of its shell, touches that robot and, Boom Done! So fast, so stuck, so long.

And this was basically a good robot from a great team. What is going to happen when you get the general population of teams out there crossing defenses?

Oh Man. Those first few weeks of the season are going to be something to see.

Good effort but I'm not going to allow it.

It's not the Double Tortuga plus an e-stop Contest, no no. Triple Tortuga or nothing.

Go Team Turtle!

P.S. also, to be a winner you have to send a link to a video (youtube, vimeo, twitch, something that the world can see the lead up to the Triple T so that we can judge these things aright). Screen caps are nice but not sufficient for winning a gift card... ...my house my rules...

Not a triple tortuga, but I wish I got a screen cap of 1102's tortuga on the Portcullis @ Palmetto in Quals 27. It was definitely...different.

Match 58, Palmetto


This is a Triple Tortuga because the defense caused three robots to not move for a large portion of the match.

Match 58 at Palmetto regional. Pretty sure the door had 6222 stuck as well.
