2013 FIRST Robotics Competition - Kickoff Broadcast - Video 10 of 11: Ultimate Ascent Game Animation

[@farier.series]

I like that this game idea is very original and exciting! It's not really a conventional sport, but more like a really awesome large-sized robots' playground!

[@Skinkworks42]

The detail in the animation is better than ever before. Good job Dave!

[@koates7]

When we walked in, we were intrigued by the progress that other schools had made up to this point, even though it is only our second day, we are close to finishing the frame and making progress! We are team 4834! We hope every school and individual does there best, learns a lot, and benefits from the 2013 FIRST Robotics Competition!

[@KaiWilliams1996]

We're totally stoked for the game this year - it will be awesome to watch and play! Team 1332 SWIFT wishes everybody good luck!

[@Zetsumeinozomi]

Can't wait to see what teams come up with this year. Good luck everyone!

[@PianoHero1994]

You should have gotten some in your Kit of Parts, but I'm sure Andymark or another FRC supplier should be able to supply your team with some game frisbees for a relatively low cost :) Best of luck from team 3756 to yours!

[@bergenrc]

Can we have the video without the music? You can't hear the commentary...

[@DeformedSkier]

"IT'S GONNA BE A WATER GAME FOR SURE THIS YEAR." k.

[@TheAceTriad666]

Interesting... It looks easy and hard at the same time. And everybody participating in the competition will have to work harder than ever before. Go Team 3541!

[@Vicinity7]

Lol. First Saskatchewan team to register, did the demo build in Calgary, excited for April to arise! But I wish everyone luck!

[@BionicTigers]

It's going to be a great year! Good Luck from Team 1592, the Bionic Tigers. Cocoa High School Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy Brevard County, Florida

[@RachelCisto]

Oh, this will be interesting to see. While I'm excited to see what my team comes up with (I'm an FRC alum and now the media/PR mentor for 1922) I'm excited to see what everyone else comes up with too! Good luck to everyone!

[@SarinEA]

Nice thing about the discus is that it's symmetrical and it can be thrown from any side and even upside down if done right.

[@michelleswitte]

Super awesome - love the climbing and more human participation.

[@electronicanteater]

Can't wait for the competition!!!!.

[@zwconn]

YES!!!! FRISBEES and Robotics are my 2 favorite things ever i am going to score so much as human player!!

[@Shockwave527]

Every year it's based off a game, but this year my fav game- FRISBEE? YES! Good luck team 1717 once again!

[@itsnotreallymyname]

Suction or a vacuum or brushes, rollers, etc I think it'll be more of a challenge to climb, especially after reading the rules, they've added tons of things to make it all the more challenging

[@soccerisfun808]

So ready for this! Go Team 4011!

[@KristenB2263]

So excited!! Go team 3010, the Red Plague!

[@Princess_Ang]

Yessss this looks so fun... I'm F.I.R.S.T. Alumni but I wish Team 2895 Blazen Bots the best of Luck on this one

[@jla3rd]

do you have to try for bonus points or can you just keep shooting till the end? How about the other way around and just try for bonus for whole match?

[@Kishema7]

Can't wait to see you guys there!Go team 1340!:D

[@fibonacci227]

This is literally the most terrifying thing I've seen in the last four years as part of Team 2498...

[@AXAV1]

Good Luck everyone. This years event looks pretty exciting. Can't wait to see everyone's Robot at Regional! - 342

[@RaulMusic3]

Just wondering how many people do you have in your team.

[@heavenlymartinez13]

i fear this game, the competition keeps getting harder.. the pressure is on but i am ready!! already buzzing with ideas =]

[@Blujj621]

GO FIRST ROBOTICS!!!! From Team 68, Truck Town Thunder :) Good Luck To All Teams!!

[@RoadkillIndustries]

i dont know what more exciting, the physics behing this or watching robots fall as they try to climb...lol

[@kianad4698]

yessss!!! im a frisbee gold player this is my type of game.Good luck you got about 6 weeks to learn how to throw a frisbee

[@SwankyMarrow]

Could teams just repeatedly climb up and down the Pyramid? Can't find in the rules where it says that they have to be hanging at the end of the match. Only mentions it lightlyin the video...

[@chewnbubblegum]

"standard flying disks" ? can't find 11" 180g frisbees anywhere :'(

[@JoeWithTheGlasses]

2:28 - That first robot, climbing from the inside; Is that considered an illegal/invalid climb? No points awarded? The did not touch the first rung, and you are supposed to go in order of 1, 2, and then 3, correct?

[@littleblu33]

Yeah... Best of luck to everyone! Hope to see you at competition! TEAM 4127 LOGGERBOTS

[@Shockwave527]

TEAM 1717! I know you know who we are. The D'Penguineers shall rise again!

[@MysticDruidGaming]

what software did you use to make this animation

[@maggot6751]

4643 here it was great playing with you guys in the sac regional keep up the good work team paradox

[@thebeanshaveeyes9137]

My Team was 3324 and i wish all players good luck in the season!

[@drew8552]

me n my team (MVHS dogbots) have a pretty solid design worked out. i already welded a pyramid together its pretty big.

[@Blujj621]

GO FIRST ROBOTICS! GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS FROM TEAM 68 TRUCK TOWN THUNDER!

[@nhomcy]

How did you guys take enough time off WoW to dream all this up! :D

[@TheDrBradish]

What time is it?

[@raghavgoyal1527]

the code is sAucersFlyRobotsClimb! (including the exclamation mark)

[@MrChocoBacon]

Good luck teams! Shout out from 2nd year team 4189!

[@chrisfelipe5624]

Good luck to all the teams in the competition! -Team 2980

[@mega48man]

TEAM 2834!!! man this game looks intense, i can't wait!!!

[@TheTapeAddiction]

Some teams already have their frisbee throwers built, and ours is still discussing strategy. Oh well, being a small team has advantages too!

[@Rawr383]

Team 2445 is looking forward to the competition!

[@CoreyKoval7]

This will be interesting, especially while I'm mentoring a rookie team.

[@blitzen1219]

Best of Luck to all Teams. Looks like a tough one. -Katelin with 1369 Minotaur

[@golfnjazz]

537 gonna rock the house this weekend at the Wisconsin Regional!

[@KristenB2263]

This is going to be so complicated! Go team 3010, The Red Plague!

[@theyxaj]

Dang it. This would've been the perfect video on which to claim KZbin's infamous "FIRST!" comment. Aside from that, I'm looking forward to the pyramid usage.

[@Blujj621]

GO FIRST ROBOTICS!!!! From Team 68, Truck Town Thunder :)

[@bentoncrider]

Going to be a great year.

[@DiarioLaVioleta]

Wonderful! Chi-chi-chi-le-le-le-le VIVA CHILE! - Good luck to chilean kids! Here, Liceo Politecnico de San Carlos, CHILE.

[@anthony__aznar]

Any Ideas you'd like to share?

[@rayhatesu]

The problem of climbing is relatively easy, the true challenge is launching the frizbees.

[@DEATHbySP0ON]

Sounds like this will be tough (but fun)! GO TEAM 3345!

[@MTSonata]

Awesome! Good Luck From the ASTI Aztechs #4186!

[@TheDrBradish]

What time is it? 11:26!!!! Because that's my team's number, and yeah...

[@tarpart]

this is going to be good!

[@BoingBoingCorgi]

I can expect we'll be seeing a bunch of robots tipping on the pyramid lol. Just hopefully we'll be making them a little more secure when climbing it.... Otherwise this could result in quite a lot of repairs (especially in testing/practice XD)

[@LordAfricanus]

Does anybody know the code?

[@musicmaniactc]

No way- the teams that no what they're doing are going to score so many more points than last year. Even if only 66% of the alliance's frisbees wind up going through the top slot, that would score the team 90 points plus whatever they did during autonomous and the endgame.

[@TheTapeAddiction]

@pedanticPessimist042 Yep, that's exactly what I thought when I saw the animation. Should be exciting though.

[@thenatali3]

Am I the only one that would love to see a robot utilize a toilet plunger?

[@rockiesfan4ever]

It's disc golf...wow. I graduated 2 years too early.

[@SuspectedApollo]

Team 451 And also, wow, this is going to be a fun year.

[@jmazing97]

team 1937 from israel wishes everyone good luck on this one! it sure looks complicated!

[@deatheater3716]

Good luck from team 1523!

[@ShiriasuYobirin]

WhOOOO Go TEAM 3405 Eaglebots! This is going be pretty difficult. But my team is on their way to win.

[@Zodelyzo]

I miss that challenge #CryptoniteRobotics

[@earthboundkid1]

Im also a FIRST alum with team 3322 eagle imperium. as my coach says ROBOTICS!

[@wesbassindale6989]

If you watch closely it hopped on the 1st bar and then hooked on the second.

[@D00mgirl]

1361 Is gonna kick some butt! Frisby Golf it is :)

[@SalmonPowered]

Be sure to drop test your robots for that pyramid part. Go 2898!

[@MayDukAMO]

his. is. I.N.S.A.N.E. and awesome. GO TEAM 1075!!!! SPROKETS!!!!

[@drew8552]

One of the guys who designs the FTC games can solve a 5x5 rubik's cube behind his back in under fifteen seconds. its ridiculous.

[@14sphynx]

Good luck from team 4045!

[@pokemonmegaman]

R.I.P. foam game pieces

[@Schrammletts]

I think FIRST got so tired of the "Do you even lift?" comments that it made a game where the answer was "Yes".

[@MrChocoBacon]

Last year we played basketball :)

[@Strigans7]

My team has a good frisbee thrower as well.

[@peachoolongtea5147]

TEAM SWAT 771 ... LETS DO THIS THING !!

[@SaveTheFuture]

SERIOUSLY!!! I'm a genius, but how are you supposed to think of a genius solution to that?!? You're climbing a friggin pyramid!!! 0.0

[@Brendanurke]
