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!

And here's video of the Triple Tortuga from SVR Qual. 56: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnBQ...utu.be&t=30903. Looks like the Ramparts caught all three red robots...

It wasn't the ramparts for our team(604) so much as it was the ball that we went over before going over the ramparts. :/

You're right, that boulder got caught by the Ramparts. Here are some more views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMbc...utu.be&t=33705

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.

I think if it were an official match I'd give it to you but not for a practice.

No Cigar.

Don't you DARE try to take this Triple T away from us. No, no. That ball played a part, yes, but without the Rampart their is no Tortuga. A defense played a role, we're giving it the 5th and Final Triple Tortuga of the 2016 Season.

Hallry, PM with details about how you want your gift card (Amazon has been by far the most popular choice but I am open to others).

To all the rest of ya'all, keep a sharp eye out for the great white whale of Tortugas, the elusive, Double Triple Tortuga. I don't suppose it will happen this late in the season, but there is still a $50 gift card on the line if you can share the link to it.

Very fun contest. Thanks for playing.

Cheers,
Dr. Joe J.

P.S. I have lost track of this thread -- I wasn't trying to skate on a debt, I was really just ignorant that the 5th Triple T had been found.

P.P.S. I LOVE watching these videos. I rewind them and watch them over and over. I know what's coming, but heaven help me, I can't but laugh out loud (really not an lol) each time I see the hand of fate play out over and over. Oh look they are trying to come to the rescue. Will they be in time to save them? Look out, there's a ball. Oh no, the ball is under them. It's rolling toward the rampart. It's... ...I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY GOT TIPPED LIKE THAT! rewind...
