2013 FIRST Game Animation - Ultimate Ascent

Animation describing the 2013 FIRST Robotics Competition game, Ultimate Ascent. Robots shoot standard Frisbee discs into goals at the far end of the field to score. At the end of the match, they climb "jungle-gym"-like pyramids to earn bonus points. This animation was first shown at the 2013 season FRC kick-off broadcast in January, 2013. Final production version.

this feels exactly like 2024 omg

[@claraloose8884]

Been waiting since last year! This is going to be so much fun!

[@CyborgZombies3470]

Yeah! From team 3470 in Temecula. Team 2429's robot was amazing, It climbed the entire structure.

[@catag811]

I can't wait! This is my first year on an FRC team, I've been doing FTC the last two years and this is an exciting step to be taking. Best of luck to everyone!

[@777Abrams]

Thanks man! Good luck to you from team 2220 "Blue Twilight"!

[@LtHawk77]

This a good challenge, simple and hits you with all the challenges. I look forward to seeing some creative designs this year.

[@01rivertrader]

Respect from FTC Team 5298! That's a challenging game for 6 weeks!

[@beccagentry4521]

It will be so complicated... Sure it will be fun to see all the new designs though.

[@brandonwood0]

Good luck from 135 The Black Knights!

[@elguero117]

cannons for life man that was a fun year we worked hard for days on end i remember staying in the lab until midnight programing it

[@xXMasterSandBoxerXx]

so you are saying we cant build it in six weeks but you did it in one seems legit

[@BinkiklouGaminglol]

Rapid React: This feels awfully familiar

[@anounyoumissed4073]

Just finished the Wisconsin Regionals! 4531 STEMpunk won rookie all-star and highest seed!

[@mikez541]

did your team go to the Portland competition?

[@iLoveBoojae]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i dont want this to be over D:

[@likeapolygraph]

Good luck to everyone this year! I hope you all have a great season!

[@Ash-vw1gg]

You don't HAVE to pick them up, but it's more efficient. They can still be fed.

[@nobleteamactual]

although we didnt make it this year to championships i thought we did well. Go FIRST team 839!!! Lets go Rosie!!!

[@beccagentry4521]

UGH> CANT BELIEVE ITS BASICALLY ULTIMATE FRISBEE THIS YEAR!!!

[@ranisunshine]

Damn yo.... I can think of a bunch of designs but my heart goes out to anyone who tries to build for the climbing part.

[@temportals8051]

Our robot from team #1985 did well in the Championships.. Rank: 13th Picked: No! (WTF)

[@noviranger239]

0:55 There's a 254 in there

[@LegoBrick412]

so that's how they're so good

[@TheHockeyfan02]

this is a hard challenge good luck everyone

[@hama129]

Good luck from 2836 Team Beta!

[@CrystalCircleWolf]

Really cool/complicated game! I can't wait to see the designs people come up with! =D

[@ScoutMom865]

Robotic Disc Golf - How cool!

[@Abunai_Gaming]

Good luck to every team from team 2348, the Cool Geeks!

Obi-Wan: "That's why I'm here."

[@LuRmAnAt0r]

going to be an interesting season

[@beccagentry4521]

Consider the angle that the tower is at. It will be very difficult to maneuver the robot to climb up that without causing damage to the robot, that is tough...

[@eman0995]

A lot more complicated than last year..

[@BronyLyricsOnScreen]

the robot will need to old its own weight, sound familiar from any other year?

[@KronoGarrett]

Should prove to be pretty fascinating, although the climbing looks like it's going to be a challenge.

[@adahlenninja]

saw this and fell over

[@beccagentry4521]

Well you could have a separate grappling hand... However that would be hard.

[@777Abrams]

The bulldozer bot is so funny!

[@SqwishSqwash]

how is your robot going to throw a frisbee??

[@SaavedraLudere]

2010 had Breakaway the robot had to hold it's own weight that year.

[@araash178]

hello...7 years later

[@vuphan833]

Do we have to pick up the frisbee on the field on just simply feed it through the feeder station? :/

[@lilypalm5792]

I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT

[@kendyllsmith7900]

Team 2783 will see some of u at worlds!

[@Laxrocks571]

[@Alex-we8fh]

[@bubblescubed]

[@herbuddy123]

This video explains the assingment well and I am excited for the next 6 weeks but that music is so ridiculously bad the concerned robot with the googly eyes looks so awkward to this music why frc whyyyy

[@julianmoore3163]
