Did anyone in 2011 have a multi-ubertube autonomous other than 1114?

Quite a few teams did. 33 was one of the first to show it off during Week 1 at Kettering.

I could swear seeing a video where 233 did it.

233 could do 3 ubertubes in auto.

Wow, I remember that, that was the craziest thing ever.

Absolutely awesome, but I believe you'll find that they didn't post that till after championships, and I don't remember seeing them do it in any competition during the season.

From what I've heard/seen, I believe 111 were one of the top teams in 03.

67 was pretty dominant in 2005 if I recall. Then, FRC was like "Nope. Change the rules." 67 changed their robot's base dimensions by shifting their side onto the ground during Hybrid mode. When a robot gets a rule created after it, it's pretty important.

I am fairly certain it was posted before Championships and I remember saying that I thought our single Ubertube was good

They had trouble doing 3 though, the last Ubertube often didn't make it, because they were in a rush to put it on.

Although I wasn't on a team to witness triple play, watching videos of the game I'd venture to say 330 was one of the most dominant in 2005. However, strategy had a lot to do with being successful in 2005. 330 just had one of the simplest robots that year and tremendous strategy (namely, taking away a triple play at the far end that usually are triple plays for the alliance behind that side of the glass) and execution of said strategy.

It was not from after champs and they nearly executed it during quals at champs. I remember rushing over to their field to see it the first time they ran it. There was some kind of silly programming or setup mistake they made that caused the 3rd tube to not make it.

An interesting thread similar to this one from long ago can be found here:

From what I've read, it sounds like 47 for 1998 and a tossup between 25 and 47 again for 2000. A better opinion would likely be given by someone who was actually around back then though, all I have is what I could scrounge up on CD as I've only been around FRC since 2007.

Edit: found a photo of 47 from 2000. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/12954 They are the pioneers of the swerve, first making on in (if my research is correct) 1998.

It ran perfectly, we just accidentally put the 3rd tube in the wrong spot

In all the excitement we aligned the third tube with the center of the rack, instead of on the left. Twas a bummer
