Correct, 384 was momentarily stuck, and 1086 was stuck enought to actually bend their mechanism as a 45deg angle But yea, I'm pretty sure we only got stuck once or zero times, because I remember being behind that player station and going "Holy smokes! NO!!!!! Flip down and reverse out!" I'm the human player so either I was day dreaming, or my eyes just zoomed in and saw it happen to 540... I have no clue..

Good times at VCU though...

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540

Bad webcast-capture, but it gets the point across.



It's not apparent in the video, but all 4 of our wheels are off the ground. That was actually a good thing, since the autonomous code kept running the wheels for a few seconds longer.

In all honesty, 2106 (or whoever tipped us) really shouldn't have been DQed. We were stuck, and the only way down was... down. If they didn't push us, the swinging of the spiders would have knocked us over anyways. It's actually rather beautiful how we were right at the tipping point yet we didn't go over.

That, and we proved to the world how strong the rack actually is.

Heres a pic I got of 401. The back of their frame is on the ground, but none of the wheels. (I cropped and zoomed in)

Re: pic: FRC 2108, 540

That happened to up but we were playing defence. We had the other robots claw pinned between our robot and the spider leg. (they were trying to put on a ringer) when they got free the rack swung back and we flipped. oh well. we only broke our claw, an easy fix.

My bad. I'm pretty sure it was 21-something though.

It was a ramp bot that looked like a bulldozer. Whatever the case, it's irrelevant now. VCU is long over and we won the match anyways.
