Literally couldn't have done it again...


This wouldn't happen on a real field

We balanced on the Cheval de Frise during autonomous mode once. I don't think we'd ever be able to replicate that.

It was 2007... second match of the tournament in Portland. Our chance to show off our awesome autonomous in front of a row of judges and a packed stadium.

We'd spent the practice day replacing the soft carrier plates in the KoP transmissions that year as they had failed while we were developing the PID code for the mecanum drive. (All you script kiddies using a cRio to do it with a pre-programmed routine in LabView... hah! Try doing it from scratch on the old controller.) The ultrasonic sensors in the front had worked in the shop, and the plan was to drive to the tower, square up, roll in, and release the tube. Sure, we hadn't had a chance to try it in practice on a real field, but it worked at home....

I'm not saying that we'd WANT to do it this way again, but we couldn't if we tried. http://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2007or_qm2

Arial Assist - Kettering Kickoff off season event.

Auto mode we are the blue bot in the middle.
We miss the first auto shot, catch the ball and shoot it again, and make it.

During the Alamo Regional this year, we are fairly positive that our plexi-glass (meant to protect our electrical stuff) bent so much that it hit our power button.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried

This is a wonderful time to bring up the suggestions posted in the thread about reveal videos. I feel some (maybe many) of the videos in this thread have too much build up or do not give proper focus to the event that is meant to be emphasized. I realize that some of the videos are match archives, in which case the poster should be giving an over view of what happened, or at least the team to look at and what time the event occurred.

2015, Recycle Rush, I was operating and my best friend was the driver. We had a can and were about to top a stack of 5, we were close, when all of a sudden one of our allies bumped into the stack and it started tipping over. My driver drove right into the stack, pushed it back up, capped it, and backed away at the last second. We ended up winning. Highlight of my senior year.

I really wish there was video of this.

Does anyone have that video of the minibot that fell off the pole, bounced off the robot and then landed right back on the pole to finish going up?

My team once scored 300 points (or more) in Aerial Assist, but couldn't do it again.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried

In one of our matches on Newton, the auto mode was set to go over a floor defense and the robot was lined up in front of the Cheval. I didn't have time to reload the robot code because they were counting down when I realized that the auto mode was set wrong. I don't know how, but we went over the Cheval by ramming it, doing a wheely, and landing on the front end. I wish that there was better video. We are the tall robot in red in the middle. https://youtu.be/m6kLidMNyC8?t=13

Go to 2:18. Both teams shoot at about the same time, red ball doesn't get over the truss, blue ball bounces off another robot and is caught by 1939 without ever hitting the ground. That was the difference maker in the match.

In a practice match at the OC regional our auto messed up and accidentally shot another team's camera tower. A few seconds later the team whose camera was shot pulled it down and started to fiddle with it.

Dare I bring this up from the Perry Event this year? *sigh*

Our robot lost code (1 of many many times) and then decided to have a mind of its own. It went on a rampage and we ended up getting e-stopped while parked on the wrong batter...Here is the match.

Re: pic: Things you couldn't do again if you tried

Amazing picture!

While driving in a match at a 2015 offseason event, two of the center cans were lying down on top of the totes. I pulled one of them off and unintentionally flipped it over so that it landed upright. As in, it had rotated a full 365 degrees about its X axis(from the side of the field) from its starting position. At least, I understood it flipped that way. I didn't see the whole thing because I had limited visibly from the player station.
