So this past weekend at the Sacramento Regional we found ourselves Tortuga’d on the drawbridge.
No FTC robots were conceived during the time this image took place.
Anyone else have an interesting Tortugas?

Tortuga
[tawr-too-guh]
noun
I guess I don’t follow the premise of this thread.
“tortuga” is Spanish for turtle.
maybe this post on the triple tortuga thread would provide some more context: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1564713
In our last quarterfinal match at Los Angeles we flipped while crossing the Rampart. Our alliance partner then crossed the Rampart and, well, attempted to breach us.

This was consensual according to the drive coaches.
While I assume that you are intentionally feigning thickness, let me elucidate future generations initially pursuing robo-porn yet willing to be enlightened:
Tortuga, including the island above, the Dry Tortugas in Florida, and theFRC 2016 phenomenon, are all derived from the Spanish word for turtle.
Almost got tortuga-ed in the final seconds of the sac, but we recovered!

Lol, your team saw my picture! Fortunately, no robots were harmed in the process.
That was definitely my favorite match of the Sacramento Regional. What are the chances that our teams’ robots would’ve ended up like that?
Luckily, that was the only time our robot ended up on its side, even though most of the weight is in the back instead of the center.
