Haha, that's pretty cool. I bet your coach was happy with that one

Very nice driving! Properly avoiding defending robots takes quite a lot of skill, and a maneuverable robot.

Watching this should be mandatory for any Defensive Ends in the NFL.

Nice video, *failed to spot the spinning move* But what I thought was really cool about this was that one person from the alliance closer to the camera, was passing innertubes to a robot OVER the alliance station wall. I had never thought of that possibility before and now that I think of it, it's completely legal. I'll be sure to try to fit that into future strategies.

Upon watching the video again, I saw the spin move. Pretty awesome move there! Congrats!

watched the spin move in person from the front row

it WAS awesome.

heh it was definitely smooth. i think the amount of ease your driver showed with it was more impressive than anything. does your bots score only top row? i never saw the arm move

[wilsonmw04]

saw that move in the webcast. I need to get my drivers to watch that over and over again. That was VERY slick!

[bam_415]

thanks, we only scored on the the top rows.

<G48> Entering GAME PIECES onto the field - Only the HUMAN PLAYERS may enter a RINGER
or SPOILER onto the field once the TELEOPERATED PERIOD begins. This may be done
by attempting to throw it to a ROBOT or onto the RACK, passing it through the CHUTE to a
ROBOT, or passing it through the CHUTE for pickup by a ROBOT. If GAME PIECES are
thrown, they must be thrown over the top of the Alliance Station Wall, and may not be
thrown around the side of the Alliance Station Wall. Violations of this rule will result in a 10-
point penalty per GAME PIECE entered onto the field.


I'm confused. I thought ringers had to be thrown to the robots, not holding the ringer over the wall, and allowing the robot to grab it?

Please refer to this Q&A post

that was pretty slick. Our robot this year almost demands that kind of flair, since we are in class 2 with a 1 spd tranny ~9fps. I find it a heck of a lot more fun to out-dodge the power beasts that the ramp-bot strategy calls for.

Thanks Nuttyman54.

Nice. If anything, every driver should practice that. One of the best moves I've seen. That was awesome!!!

Your team was very tough as an opponent, great play, good luck this year, hope to see you in Atlanta!
