Pushing Dead Robots For Capture

FIRST General Forum

In our second to last qualification match, we had a team lose communication. As our alliance had been performing very well, so we had the tower already weakened. In the last thirty seconds, we managed to push our partner onto the batter and climb: https://youtu.be/ArbrGoWeW-E?t=120

Definitely a highlight of the weekend for me, I was wondering if anybody else had been able to pull this off. :]

Couple of more examples on this thread.

We did this in match 48 at walker warren.

25 (who is known for their powerful drivetrain) pushed 3314 all the way from atop the rock wall to the batter in MAR Champs Finals 3.

We had so many robot code issue, com issues, and e-stop issues over the weekend, I believe we were pushed onto the batter twice. Team 71 pushed us onto the batter in this match.

145 starting struggling with their drivetrain towards the end of the match. Fortunately, they were $@#$@#$@#$@# close to the batter when they lost control, so we could work our way around, push them on, and get back to our side in time for the capture.

We pulled it off in Quals 41 of the NC District Champs. 435 had gotten disabled midway through the match on the batter. At about 1:40 a disgruntled 2682 (Boneyard Robotics) rams them full speed off of the batter, tipping themselves in the process. Right before time runs out we gave 435 a quick nudge back on, though the driver’s vision was blocked by the tipped 2682, and drove onto the battrer ourselves to secure the capture.

It was difficult to tell if 435 had a wheel off from the video, but it was a bit more clear in person that they did.
