So is it going to be counted a triple?

We will be at the Iowa Regional in two weeks, so you can watch us on the stream!

P.S. - Our anti-tortuga mechanism doesn't work if we flip completely over, it just prevents bottoming out.

I'm going to stick by my "we'll see" position.

There are only so many gift cards I can give out on a lark. If at the end of the season we haven't claimed all the promised prizes (which seems likely), then I will award this honorary Triple Tortuga one of them.

Cheers,

There were just two double tortugas in GTRE Q2, interesting.

I believe the tall robot on the draw bridge was just sitting there. At the end of the match they were driving around.

Qual 32 GTRE http://livestream.com/accounts/12312913/events/4953783. Match starts at 7:56:30.

EDIT: This might not actually count, one of the robots starts moving again right at the end.

Not quite a Tortuga but it's pretty entertaining.

8:47:00 one robot flies over the CDF onto another.

This was close but I'm going to say this was NOT a Triple Tortuga. Had the match ended 20 seconds earlier I would agree this was a 3T because they went dead crossing the drawbridge and sat there for over a minute but they came alive again and in the end were completely free of the outerworks when they died the second time.

Close but no cigar...

Did you mean match #18?

I believe this might be just a double tortuga though, but I'll let someone else be the judge.

Yeah that one.

In the last 20 seconds all red robots are dead.

2 died hitting the defenses, and then we had to estop because the new flaps accidentally triggered an unexpected mode on our robot which caused it to get stuck.

The field strikes back!
