67 Capping 1241 Video

[Gadget470]

kudos to the person or persons who came up with this strategy.

Bah, I said it first

[Alex Cormier]

Very interesting! We could also do such a thing...
I'm getting a few ideas....

[RoteAugen]

I hadn't even thought of that before! but now that we know what we can do... i guess that re-enforces (5,6)-1 vs 2-(1,2)

...if you have no idea what I am talking about, look at this

[Arefin Bari]

that was one of the best strategy that i have seen this year... HOT and team 280 has great robot.. they made a really good alliance... where they went for the scoring and also played defensive... great job guys...

I have to say I think when 1241 got capped the crowd went wilder than at the end of the final championship match. Congrats on the awards again 1241, you guys really deserved them.

Why is it that whenever I watch a video from this site the colors are all reversed? I've never seen the Canadian flag in blue and white before...

Edit: On second thought, it looks like the red and blue color values are just switched. Maybe I'll try it in Windows Media Player.

Edit: Wow, it works in WMP. Weird.

Stop being so psychic, you psychic.

Very nice move HOT, you guys always know how to play the game. To 93, 1241 and other net/basket/collector bots. ComBBAT also has one of these designs, and we were worried about this tactic. One way to help prevent this counter strategy is to cross surgical tubing over the top of your basket. The big ball won't settle in and will be more likely to roll off. The little balls still slide by the thin tubing and go into the basket. It is easy enough to try, although it won't solve all problems. I also wish your partner's better auto modes.

Can 1241's arms close????

If a team were to hold a 2x ball over the basket while its closed, and a team were to open the basket, I would think that the force would at least move the arm out of the way.

We did do some stragedy before the mach. In which we came up with this.
Thanks 67 for the great time and the best mach of the year.

I remember that match...

Great job guys!

--EDIT--
Also want to congratulate you guys on your autonomous mode. You never messed up on it!

[Pin Man]

I'm just curious... I noticed that in the beginning of the match that robots blocked both ball chutes with the mobile goal and I remember hearing that that was illegal to do... Did you get called for that or anything???

On the other note... GREAT JOB!!!

[Beth Sweet]

Nope, no call, but trust me, I think we talked to every ref on the field to check if it was ok!

[Alex Golec]

I think it was ok to block both ball chorales with goals. a single robot couldn't block both ball shoots by itself.

I remember this match so well. first match (or at least one of the early ones) of saturday, most teams are sleep deprived, the game starts and everyone wakes up. AMAZING! both chutes blocked, 1241 looks like it's gonna have a rough day and then - the robot is capped (kodak moment anyone?). Oaktown Crewz gets knocked over, and TNT hangs. Wonderful strategy by 67 and 280, and thanks to them, 1241, and 1188 for putting on a great show. Woke me up for the rest of the day.
