The Triple Tortuga is Contest born.

Here's hoping for one final weekend of Triple Tortuga...

I video'd a double this weekend, but I kinda felt guilty for wishing the third 'bot would stop.

I think there will be more. It's a hard game and even good robots die sometimes.

At the risk of quoting Citibank.... Priceless.

Red alliance match 68 at the MAR Bridgewater-Raritan Event appears to have a triple tortuga.


EDIT: Agh! The video doesn't show it. I know 1676 is recording each match, so there should be a video later.

South Florida QF 3-2

PNW Auburn District, Qual 28

Not sure if it counts, 4060 dies early in the match but gets pushed around and ends up in front of the moat. 4681 gets stuck on top of 4060 trying to come back over the moat. 3237 puts forth a valiant effort to break their partners free, but with 3 seconds left in the match, manages to ride up on 4060's bumpers and get themselves stuck as well. It's a little hard to tell if 3237 is actually stuck or just stopped trying, but their wheels appear to be free of the ground.

Poor 4681 is alive and powered the entire time. You can see them desperately twitching trying to break free even after 3237 , but don't have enough traction to do so. Perhaps most ironically, 4681's team name is "Murphy's Law".

Because 4060 wasn't disabled by a defense, I don't know if it's a true Triple Tortuga.

I am going to say, nay on this one. You are right that, 4060 is out for non-defense related reasons. They get pushed into the defense area but the defense wasn't the real reason for it getting stuck to begin with.

Close, but no cigar.

And here's the new video!


5624 and 6016 get stuck on the moat, and it seems like 4281 is stuck on the sally port. Given more time they may have been able to escape.

OH MY GOODNESS. We need a gif of all the robots just flailing like beached whales. I do have to say, 114 really looks like they did that for kicks and giggles. Mission accomplished I say!

253's fuse fell out of their PDB for their radio (I think, could have been the RIO), disabling them. 5824 then got stuck on top of them and then 604 came to join the party. That was quite a match.
