Go to Post In my opinion, I wouldnt want gifts or praise from people about my help to a robotics team, all I would want is a thank you, that would make all my hard work and efforts worth while and it would prove to me that I could actually be making a difference in the students lives - Mike Schroeder [more]

Re: Best Play in Off-Season

OMG, that was against us, so we got a little scared, but it was TOTALLY the best play of the day.

There were two others that we were in that for me were pretty memorable:

One round we went out with 136, who was having major communication difficulties, and they had to get pulled right before the match. I was talking with some people from 19 (who eventually picked us as a partner) and saying "you should check us out, but we'll probably lose this round as it's 2 on 1". Not 5 seconds later, in autonomous, we come tearing off the line and push the mobile goal into an oncoming 1302 bot, which tips over, evening the playfield. I then turn and say "okay, maybe not". We ended up hanging and winning that round, which was cool for us.

Another tipping story: we were going up for the bar, and an opposing alliance member was going up the other side. We hang by a cable, and go up from the 6" platform, so we swing a bit once we clear the step to the top. The 2x ball was still on the center platform, so when we went up, we tarzan'd into the ball, kicking it into the other team and they toppled.
