FRC Fails and Funny Moments Compilation

[@Star_Girl9967]

“This is not battle bots” is a phrase that is stuck in my head, I am on FRC and a mentor for FTC,

[@grievingruins3620]

So wats ur team no. Let's see what u guys are up to this year Ps: I need ideas for my bot

[@Star_Girl9967]

3620- Average Joes

[@mccabe8818]

I remember during October in a non official competition for power up, a robot had a full extended 10ft elevator and went full speed backwards and then tipped over the barrier into the scoring table. Will never forget that moment.

[@alexoty186]

3:08 I'm on this team lol. We still make jokes about it today even though it happened 4 years ago

[@Star_Girl9967]

Alex omg omg this had me dead, I did feild reset for Destination Deep Space, (st.joseph Michigan comp of you were wondering) and honestly that was a bad wall, there is no way a robot that small could just plow through the wall

[@rgkulow]

Oh wow weird to find you in this place Alex... that was a fun mini comp

[@matthewl5434]

What went wrong?

[@aasherahmed4389]

DETROIT BECOME HUMAN

[@compactrhone-2]

@@matthewl5434 going over the obstacle it got turned slightly and that sent it into a weaker section in the wall. if it had gone straight it would have just gone towards the back wall

[@joashbergman5477]

Oh man, I love this part. "235 to 96. And the fouls keep pouring in." The way he says it is so funny!

[@Hexagonian]

5:30 Hey, fun fact: Just this year, the Mighty Monkey Wrenches (Team 2016) came over to Canada for the regionals. My team was very lucky to be with them and to make it to Semis with them. We had another robot in our team and we were the 6th alliance formed. We were destroying team after team and we were going to finals and even beat Alliance #1 (which is extremely rare) when, during our last match, the 3rd robot of our alliance yeeted another robot almost upside down. Everyone was going crazy and thought how badass it was until the judges gave us a red card and killed us on the spot. Another year of ending early for a red card...

[@dakotagearheart2740]

"This is not battle bots" is going to be my new favorite term for competitions and I am in FRC team 4462 full metal Jackets so if you have any of that team I would love to see them in your videos

[@dakotagearheart2740]

You can search us up on face book at full metal jackets

[@anthonylapham756]

Our alliance had all three robots dog pile during an off season event. It’s kinda funny, we set the record for the most points scored during a match, and the least points scored during a match that day. 😂

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

Beautifully done.

[@aspecttnd]

Good, he didn’t notice my team riding across and falling over at Midwest, then making it to the front page of FRC reddit 😂

[@greekgamer6706]

Years later I keep coming back to these videos to see how bad Powerup was designed. The fouls were super high all the time

[@greenflarev2215]

Ayy 4:16 that was a fun match to watch! I was the human player for 2791 and 639 was complaining that we didn't hit them more to try and break 1k points XD

[@Dealwthit27]

Connor Curtin oh hey there I was human player from 3003

[@devinaut3327]

Ay, 2791! I'm on 340; thanks for the alliance. CNY was a total shutdown lmao

[@landonjohnson2072]

Dude, these are hilarious. I’m on a second year team 7303 and this year, 2019 the space race year, our team preloaded a ball, drove off the second level hab, and immediately dropped out the ball and drove onto it. Our robot didn’t have enough clearance on the back end to get off the ball😂. We sat there until it eventually popped, by that point we were disqualified for the round. It was the Plano West district competition in Texas.

[@brecksneat4829]

All the smoke is why we need a water game

[@dillansherwood2930]

3:20 always have a finger on disable😂😂

[@jordanvang9865]

The issue for 3418 is that they didn't have encoders on the bot for the Mini Regional, so bot just zoomed.

[@BrettPlayzGamez]

3:52 could possibly be one of the funniest things I've seen in my life

[@clxxiii]

I'm a member of 639. That day was a sad one. It was actually really funny though

[@icewave3031]

Yeah, so am I. It was painful to watch.

[@AKSoapy29]

In 2014, my team (2169) was in a match against the poofs on Curie. This was the first year we tried swerve, and it was a disaster. Somehow after autonomous, all of our encoders short-circuited, confusing the cRIO and making the turn motors spin at full power. We E-stopped once we realized what was going on, but it was already too late. I believe everything was all twisted together and the motors were burning up. We couldn't tell in the driver box, but once we walked past the shields, we could smell it, and it was bad. I felt bad for the refs who had to sit through that!

[@nhtheintrovert5679]

2:49 look, it can be battlebots if it wants to

[@DaveTRG]

Recycle Rush was one of the biggest fails

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

What was that game about?

[@dylankahn4464]

Please put 2018 Pnw Mount Vernon match 23 team 360 literally shoots their linear slide onto the scale

[@Legit_Ninja]

360*

[@papajawn]

The robot from my team had an arm on it that was being held down with zip ties. You can imagine what happened next.

[@finiteh8873]

That match was amazing to watch while we were working on our own bot, couldn’t get the lifter working. They later became our alliance partners in Auburn along with our good friends, 2046 (BearMetal)

[@devinpierce2784]

My team, 1747, also did the tall bit stuck under the scale thing

[@icewave3031]

I'm on team 639 and I was actually super excited to find that my team is in this video. Nice compilation!

[@toni-annpeck665]

Press F to pay respects

[@SamsDesigns]

In 2017 my team (4967) shot fuel cells over the alliance wall and hit 2767's e-stop button in the final match of kentwood district tournament. They were stopped in front of our rope so neither bot climbed. Amazingly we still won the event!

[@katiesilva7651]

it's painful in the moment, but you look back on it with laughter, we've had our frame look more like jello then a box for a match before, it's all in good fun :P

[@flukiestagate7]

I witnessed 4:11 in person! The whole stadium went crazy throughout the whole match!

[@dbztranks6601]

The mentor screaming at 2 21 sounds exactly like one of my mentors

[@matthewhicks9009]

Backstory to my teams robot(5022 Rat Rod Robotics) at around 7:15 we had a backup driver running the robot cause our other dude wasn’t there and he was new, it was all his fault 😂💀

[@clxxiii]

I was there! I was team 639.....

[@blueberry1c2]

Its hilarious when a robot is stuck and the refs continuously call technicals on it and they continually lose points

[@JL-pc2eh]

I think these are just painfull to watch. It can happen so fast to the best robots xD

[@hierper7973]

my ftc teams robot had an arm before the first meet that was very inefficient and was overheating, so we had to remove and be just a pushbot in the first round of regionals. funny enough, with lots of other great teams there, we still managed to get second place

[@jacquelineheisel7915]

Our robot once threw a power cube off the field and almost hit a judge

[@bellta1862]

I was at the central New York regional and watched the robot get stuck

[@courtneyhart8362]

I'm Surprised that 1747 at Tippecanoe in 2018 wasn't on there. Highest scoring match in the world I believe.

[@rosemadsen2795]

Yeahhhh -1747

[@joshuabaughn3734]

There was one match in which two robots became entangled and one died. The other team tried to get out but killed theirs in the process, 70+ flags on both sides and both were disqualified and told to pack their bags and leave. Took all the control board people and referees and the rulebook was open on the spot and referenced historical information and replayed match on tablets all while La Macarena was playing and everyone in the front row was doing the Macarena dance. No that wasn't a joke!

[@seanj4119]

On Carver at Houston Champs, our robot (100) tipped a bit and did a 360 spin off its corner during auto on match 46!

[@aspecttnd]

Sean Jau I’m on 16, I remember watching that happen 😂

[@ErikBoesen]

Wait, so the robot at 0:55 caught fire and they just... kept playing??

[@zUltra3D]

Yeah, usually they cancel the match as soon as that happens, it's weird how long they waited this time

[@strawberrykiwi4357]

first year on a team... haven't been to comp yet, but I love the program and I'm learning a lot! yay for nerdville!

[@trippysiren7966]

I have an extremely strong reaction to Recycle Rush

[@Willdoesmusic135]

At 4:18 I was at that event and I have pictures of the two robots stuck under the scale we were all laughing so hard 😂🤣 (Team 250 wishes you a awesome 2019 build season!)

I love robotics but there is always chaos lol

[@jordandrake3812]

So saw this video and thought huh that might be a good one, got to the part about your team and was like “Huh wonder who their team is that’s kinda cool.” THEN I RECOGNIZED THE ANNOUNCERS VOICE! I was like “Hey that’s Patrick” and I looked up and saw SMR and I thought “WAIT I WENT TO THAT!” I looked up your team number and lo and behold what comes up? FARRAGUT!!! This is where I introduce myself Hi I’m Jordan I’m part of the STEMpunks team 3966 from the L&N STEM Academy. If you don’t know what that is it’s a magnet school with kids from all over the county. Guess what my zoned school is... Farragut!

[@skabals2110]

5676 already smoked a neo and might need to get it replaced for the rest of the rest of the comp

[@samus4799]

Okay so im part of team 3581, we were the peachtree disctrict unicorn match for Power Up, the 2018 game. We were able to not only hang on the scale but also hold 2 other robots. The thing is, the unicorn match was our second match of the season, and we were never able to do it again.

[@Legit_Ninja]

If you want more clips of getting stuck on the scale, our robot had a fantastic one because not only were we stuck but we also got penalty points for our climber falling out and lying on the ground. Team 1014 qualification match 8 at the Miami valley regional,

[@jameshenthorn238]

During Deep Space we were dealing with kinda jank code that didn’t always work. We had one game where everything worked fine during the 15 second blind segment and the next 15 seconds after, then our code just kinda...derped out and the the drive station stopped working.

[@haileyen353]

I don't remember much, but last year (deep space) a ball hit our main breaker in the middle of a match. Honestly, our robot was falling apart constantly. Constant problems. Cut to this year, we just got back from a competition today. Our biggest problem was our lead screw for the climber bent, but it still worked! We made it to quarterfinals and were the alliance captain! Amazing how a team can change in a year.

[@jameshenthorn238]

Hailey En literally the same thing happened to us. Competition literally today and everything was the same. Do you mind me asking what team you’re on?

[@haileyen353]

@@jameshenthorn238 5610, st. Joe event. Probably not the same event though because our climb system was unique (if you're talking about that)

[@tobiasschwab639]

In bunny bots by team placed the robot backward, so in auto in drove over the barrier tipped over the drive table and started attacking us.

[@StackableGoldMC]

(4:00) Uh, programing error? If it makes you feel any better my team had a wiring issue and our lift stopped working one round....

As Michael Corsetto said while waiting in queue at Sacramento this year: "We are all just one sensor coming loose from failure". Failure is our first opportunity to learn!

[@jagerandres5808]

My funniest thing that happened to me while in frc in 2020, I was driving my teams robot-team 8193- crashed into the pole by the balance and bent the intake on the robot and jammed it so we couldn't pick up any of the balls. Other than that though my teams robot did not break at all during competition

[@Bonnie-wk9ze]

Could you give me some advice whether to join frc or not? Idk whether to start robotics at 15 or just keep my life simple and learn when I go to college or uni

[@imrustyokay]

You know, I'd say if you're seriously considering joining FRC, Do it. You won't regret it, the skills they teach, the team building, the friends you'll have, the places you'll go, the people you'll meet, the spirit of the competition where it's competitive but friendly, the helpfulness of other teams and just walking around in the pits, it's an unforgettable experience. So, yeah, join your local robotics team. See if your school has one or check out the FRC website to find a team near you.

[@penelopesmith345]

Last day ever with my FLL team was today. Looking for more opportunities.

[@theredhattergaming]

In 5050s first match at Lincoln, an opponent doesn’t move in auton, then moves forward at most 5 feet in telelop and then flips. They weren’t a tall bot (switch/exchange) so idk what caused the CoG issue. Their alliance got 5 points that match. I think you should include that in another one.

[@dylangruich3100]

theredhatter aye we were there too 😂 that was a funny match. So was “table bot” that was literally made out of wood. The whole gym screamed when it finally got a cube in -5567

[@jefftukangjeff]

6:09 Why no failsafe on "can not extract" ? should be easy to implement, as only ONE position on field causes this error ever. Beeing good at robots doesn't mean somehow, that people are good in case-dependent coding.
