2016 Hopper Subdivision

[clydefrog88]

I'd like to be the first to congratulate my alma mater 364 and their awesome alliance partners 148, 1678, and 2990 on a great performance in Hopper. I am thoroughly impressed! Good luck on Einstein!

Thank you! We're going for it all!

Congratulations to 1678 on 4 Einstein appearances in a row, to 148 on 3 in the past 4 years, and to 364 and 2990 on their first!

Thank you to 971, 1323, and 193 for selecting us despite our constant technical problems throughout championships! It's unfortunate that our battery went bad in our first quarterfinal, but 193 played some awesome defense throughout in our stead, and a few unfortunate bumper malfunctions may have cost this incredible alliance a chance at not only a divisional banner, but also a World Championship.

Awesome job to all the teams on Hopper for incredible matches throughout!

Let's bring Hopper a World Championship!

Congrats to 148, 1678, 364 and 2990!

Thanks to all the great teams that played so hard in the Hopper subdivision. Some of the teams that caught our attention for being consistent high goal shooters include 4334, 1323, 4967, 294, 869, 1538 and 4587.

A special shout out to the no. 2 seed alliance of 971, 1323, 193 and 5254 who gave us some very strong opposition in the finals. Our great friends from California (971 and 1323) build consistently good robots and, in my very humble opinion, 971 (when performing at it's peak) was the best robot at champs this year.

Thank you 148 for believing in us and helping us form an Einstein worthy alliance. It was great to reunite with one of the greatest teams in first after going to the semis of Einstein with you in 2013. Your team is quality from top to bottom and it was an honor to go deep into the Einstein finals with you.

Managing to pick up both 364 and 2990 was unbelievable. You guys are both super teams to work with and played the third role on our alliance perfectly. Watching 364 feed balls to help us to the world high score (without penalties) of 270 was a joy. 2990 stepped in on Einstein and played stellar defense against the Newton and Carver alliances.

1678 had a blast at champs this year and playing with and against some of the best teams in FIRST made the experience all the better.

Thank you 971 and 1323 for believing in us and picking us to swim with you into the finals!

971, 1323, and 5254 are best in class acts and it was a complete dream and pleasure to play alongside you during eliminations. It was absolutely inspiring for our group of freshman to work with your students and mentors and compete on such an epic level.

Had we thought our little bot would be going head-to-head with THE Robowrangers and Citrus Circuits into the finals at Worlds we would have welded those bumpers on! Unfortunately they seemed to have a holy hand grenade up their sleeves for our Rabbit!

Congrats to 148, 1678, 364 and 2990 it was fantastic to play with you guys and we hope to see you all next year! (PS We'll bring extra bumpers!)

2016 Hopper was the most fun we have probably ever had at Champs. It was great fun to play with some of the top teams like 148 and 971 and see just how good they are as well as how chill the drive teams and coaches are.(probably for the last time in a really long time- #2Champs)

Just curious if anyone knows why our Hopper field seems to be the only field on the FirstRoboticsCompetition youtube channel that does not have elimination matches posted.
Does anyone have them recorded if FIRST doesn't have them? Would like to rewatch a few like 148/1678/364 270 pt match.

I've been hoping that they would upload all of the match video for Hopper. I'm waiting patiently, as I'm sure some team recorded all of the matches (if not, then I really hope STEMtv got Hopper..)

Here's a shamelessly biased perspective of that match:
