Battlecry 16 Semifinal 5 #10stacklovin

[EmileH]

Semifinal 5 of battlecry our alliance went and said "let's have some fun" knowing we weren't moving on. Us (3467) and our alliance captain, 2836, preceded to build two ten stacks and then 3467 shot 4 totes down about 4-5 feet on our platform.

If we lose, lose with style.

Oh and we got a red card for a >6 high stack but the ref signed it for us:D

Best way to end a semi final run!

[MikLast]

please tell me someone got video of this, i really want to see this.

[EmileH]

I know our video team recorded it but they're videos that need to be shared via YouTube which will take a while. I'll have them up by tomorrow night most likely.

[Jacob Bendicksen]

Love the signed red card :D

Plus our alliance partners were so fun to work with, too. 2836 was great at doing 2 consistent 42-point stacks plus 3 yellow totes for the Bonus Circle and was the main proponent of the 10stack idea. 5686, you were so fun to work with (in the pits and on the field) and we hope you liked our cheesecake ;)

You guys should have fought the final match score. I could have swore the announcer said you guys got 3,000,000,000 points for that stack. :p

At above twitch start at about 8:16 to see match discussed.

Everyone witnessing this - "Wh - What is that !!?"

Knew we just saw them snatch true victory out of defeat - this was the only moment all season I saw the whole crowd erupt in appreciation of exceptional achievement! congrats Windham and BETA for the moment of the year!

(Overlooked you see 228 at the end stacking 3 stack with RC's - an amazing overlooked performance by them, a team still working to its peak).

[Caleb McCune]

I am just happy to see this in person, and then see the head referee topple it over!

[DWNichols]

Head Ref "Dancin' Dave" was nice enough to go to his truck and get a red card for us too. We'll get a pic up as soon as we can.

3467 and 5686: It was a pleasure working with you. Hope the see you both in Wolcott and/or at Bash at the Beach!

I think I saw some "Noodle Agreement" at the end as well, nice!

[Derek Rouse]

The definition of going out with a bang.
I'd have to say though, the best part about this was watching it be knocked down afterwards, the entire crowd had a laugh and a good time. Props to you guys.

[Vale]

That is the best loss ever. My favorite part had to be the stack shooting. Everyone seemed so into it, though. :)

Thank you for sharing this with us. I wish I could have been there to see it up close!

Thank you Beta, Windham, and Wirecats for giving everyone in attendance a treat! WPI has hosted two amazing 2015 events this year with some of the best moments of Recycle Rush occurring in the Harrington Arena!

If you weren't there you really missed out!

this was I awesome loved watching this a really great way to lose If you knew you were going to, quite the statement aswell so i give you credit for that

[logank013]

I watched this on the bus yesterday on the way home from school. After laughing for a good 3 minutes, I got a few odd looks. Needless to say, all I thought was "Can you make a 12 Stack?" After seeing that. Bravo to those teams. You should have gettin last years bots to knock down the stacks with the big excersizin balls. ;)

Well we did do a 12 stack in the shop when our drive team was practicing.

Hey there, this is the human player for Team Beta (the skinny guy with the orange gloves). I'm still shocked by how much of a positive reaction the stacks got, and it was some of the most fun I've ever had as a member of the drive team. Thank you to everyone who gave a positive response, and we're happy we could make the match fun for people to watch. It was a combination of the impulsive creativity of the teams, and the willingness to go along with a crazy idea that shaped the match. Both of the teams on our alliance were a ton of fun to work with and they were both amazing on and off of the field. I really don't want to glorify my own involvement, especially since I didn't contribute much to the plan. That said, however, I'm really happy I had the opportunity to be involved, and finally fulfilling the noodle agreement was a pretty neat way to end the competition.
Thanks again to everyone for the great time!

Still claiming this the best moment of the weekend by far. I was down in the pits with some of my friends and we caught this on the monitor. The Pit Admin staff and us screamed so loud when we saw this.

Hey if your going to go out, go out with style. :D

[CarinaSav]

This was my favorite match of 2015 by far! It was an honor being on the driveteam this event and I wouldn't have wanted to go out any other way. I have never heard a stadium so loud this season! Thanks to Team Beta and The Wirecats for an amazing match, and thanks to the crowd for such an insane response to the 10stacks, I couldn't have imagined a more enthusiastic reaction! :D

[K-Dawg157]

This is my favorite memory of any Battlecry I've ever been to. I am so happy you decided to have fun instead of stressing out to try to score really high.

Thank you for making my year. XD

[Zac Schofield]

That was probably the most glorious match EVER!

I'd say that losing in style isn't really losing.

I cringed a little when the head ref was knocking down the stacks, and one of the totes almost hit a robot.

[EmileH]

Bravo to those teams. You should have gettin last years bots to knock down the stacks with the big excersizin balls. ;)
