double keeper-- yes

[Chief Pride]

it really was awesome, seemed like just as the robot let go the buzzer sounded... really great job 910!

[FoleyEngineer]

Yeah, it was one of those magical days. 9-0 in the qualifying matches and then no losses in the playoffs for a 13-0 record. Takes luck to have that happen, but we'll take it!

Thanks to our partners 1625 who we won IRI with last year, and 313 who got their first, first-place win in their 5 years of FIRST (that's a lot of firsts!). You guys played great and did everything we could have asked of you.

The double keeper was such a great finish to a "cinderalla" day. Like John said, last match of the day, last run and it scores the first, runs back and grabs that second tube and as the clock counts down, 4-3-2 the tube goes on and then drops it on the top peg and 1 the buzzer sounds and there are two of them hanging! The place just erupted! What a riot!

Thanks to ARC for putting on such a great event. The reffing was PERFECT - never heard a single complaint. You guys outdid yourselves.

Talk about knocking the wind out of our sails......

When the two 15 point bonus keepers were scored and we ( Team 47) missed by less than an inch we were down 30 points but kept fighting - not giving up.

Thanks to Team 70 - and Team 68 for being our partners. Great alliance.

When this happened two things crossed my mind at the same time,

1. Dang that stinks,

and 2. That was really cool.

Great accomplishment guys, very cool.

Here is the video of the double cap. It is just a short clip of the cap itself. I'll probably be putting up some more video from the rest of ARC in the future.

Beautiful.

Hats off to the programmers.

[FoleyEngineer]

Here's a link to the full match recorded on a digital camera in "movie mode". Quality's not that good but it does show a bit more of the "excitement factor".

Take care all.

Congratulations 910!!!!!

[Qbranch]

Sweet! I just feel bad that FIRST never turned the rack as much as they made it sound they would... I wouldn't have run off making ultrasonic radar systems... *sigh*
