Unbelievable. I love the way it comes down and picks the ball up, reminds me of a greyhound for some reason.

You guys are going to be a force to be reckoned with in ATL..

ROFL, you know.. ive been in such similar situations when i drove.. i think any good driving team who work good together get themselves in that kind of situation lol

I think that officially beats the end game impressiveness of the 968 hurdle, 1717 place, 294 knock of SD final 1.

By a LANDSLIDE!

That match was amazing!

[Tetraman]

I'm surprised it's the first hurdle of it's kind that I've seen.

[lachoneus8]

Final score 124 to 106! Amazing match, and impressive hurdle!

Thanks for posting this.

And congrats on the Chairman's award.

Sure. As long as it goes over the crossbar, between the uprights, in a ccw direction, and lands on the field or on another robot, it's valid.

[Elgin Clock]

The only thing that could of made that better was if the angle was a bit more shallow, and it bounced off the outer wall's railing and landed on top of the rack at the end.

But we can't do everything now can we?

Good job Team 27!

Hey, Is it a legal hurdle if your not in the Home stretch??
I was under the assumption that would not count

"

Hurdling is defined as: HURDLING:
Quote:
The act of completing a HURDLE. To be considered in the process of HURDLING, the ROBOT must:

* be in its own HOME STRETCH, and
* be in POSSESSION of a TRACKBALL, and
* be moving toward the OVERPASS and/or elevating the TRACKBALL so that the top of the TRACKBALL is higher than the LANE DIVIDER.

[Grant Cox]

^ all that means is they weren't eligible for protection from hurdler interference. The act of HURDLING and an actual HURDLE are two very discrete things.


I second what Jimmy said. Seeing that out of the corner of my eye, sealed my awe and fascination with 27's bot. I recommend you guys watch the whole match instead of just the end; final score 124-106, it's one of the most intense and offensive matches there've been yet!
