This had to be the most exciting final ever! Watching HOT and the feds go up in the last few second to score the last second points! I've never scene an entire crowd stand up for the end of a match!
AWESOME! What was the final score? It had to be pretty.

15-14 Blue won. Yes HOT Wings Express (doesn't it sound like a fast food place) lost a match in the finals
as posted below it was acutally 14-13, my bad.
The score was actually 14-13 for blue. Which ironically adds up to 27!
Congratulations again to Hot Wings Express for such amazing Finals!

I thought it was 13-14. Either way, we were extremely happy we beat Hot Wings Express in a match. The other two, however, the FEDS tipped or were disabled. We were relying on their near zone scoring very heavily and their hanging. It was an amazing match though!

BTW, does any of the FEDS have a Large shirt from last year I could trade for? I think your shirts are amazing.

I was so upset when we tipped and when our radio failed! We definitely could have won it if those two things didn't happen :/
Oh well, I guess there is always states ;)

We are seeing if we can order more shirts because we are getting a TON of requests for shirt trades and stuff. I will keep you posted!

I was so dissapointed when the Feds when out for two matches in a row! That first match is the most excited I've been since lunacy! Maybe at states we'll see our first 6 robot hang!
I remember being so on edge during this match - the score were incredibly close the entire time, and I don't think that I've ever screamed "BLUE AL-LI-ANCE!" that loudly! I was right behind the judges table, and the energy that came from the 27/201/1 alliance when the scores were posted was almost tangible.
4 robots hanging at once is really impressive. When you have alliances that are diverse enough in their hanging styles to be able to do that, seeing the match unfold so well is really a treat. Great job, 67, 51, 27, and 201!

During our last qualification match, we were actually going to have all 3 robots hang in one match, but because of field problems 5 out of the 6 robots lost comms during the match. Unfortunately they didn't replay it, but we didn't lose so we wern't that upset (it ended out as a tie).
ANd would that last time be when we teamed up with you guys for Detroit last year? ;)

I was actually convinced that it was a tie when the match ended, so when the scores were posted I freaked out. It was at this point that I really realized that we were in the finals.
Then I went to ice our motors for the next match :P

I was re-living that match with one of our programmers today at lunch - wasn't that the one where we managed to accidentally knock out comms for the entire red alliance and ourselves by accidentally ramming into the alliance station wall? (our frame did NOT look pretty after that, let me tell you). Sorry about that one :/ I think that the only reason it wasn't replayed was because 3002 was still moving. I would have loved to see the finale of that match if that hadn't happened, though.

Yup! It's a shame 3002 didn't go out, so that we could play the match over in it's entirety! If we would have played that match over, we probably would have gotten enough CP ponts for the award :/ Oh well!

Maybe at states we'll see our first 6 robot hang!It would be even greater if several of those 6 were suspended!

Unless someone modifies their bot, I think the enginerds are the only ones at states able to suspend other bots

And hopefully we get to see that at States, we just want someone to come hang with us. (we feel lonely)

I heard your putting in verticle bars to hang off... I hope so or we won't be able to hang off you either :/ (hopefuly we put it on this time)

True, and untill they change the outward uprights, neither us (27) or the Killer Bees can hang from them. We'd sheer the aluminum right in half! I have no idea if they plan on changing that or not.

All i know is michigan needs to have the first 6 bot hang or the second suspention (a double suspention would be better though) oh and 33 and 27 shouldn't worry i've heard some stuff about enginerds updates :D

I'm curious, has there been a match where more than four robots hung at the end? Besides this match, the most I've ever seen from pictures and whatnot are 3.

(Vertical suspension might be out for States to add more valuable functionality ... sorry 27, 33, or any other vertical hangers)

Someone told me that there would be some new "sounds" at states comming from your robot

What really blows my mind is the fact that none of the robots used the floor portion of the tower to hang. Every robot seemed to hang from the hump! Great job! ^__^
(oh the wonders that happen in Michigan competitions... ;))

Well 27 has a hanger like 33 and 217/148's old one. They just drive up at the back of the tower and lift themselves up. 51 actually started up hanging from the front of the tower so they could redirect balls, but the excellent defense played by team 1 caused The Wings Of Fire to discover their "side hang" :)
Although 201 and 67 are "bump hangers", 201 actually starts on the ground to hang (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvNcx8Fxtsk), then drives onto the bump.
What stuff!?

Loose lips sink... robots? (during at water game at least)

As Clint said, this is true. More noises=more surprises. ;)

As long as those noises aren't " 'CRASH BANG BOOM EXPLOSIONNNNNN *SIREN*' 'ZACHARY, what did I tell you about releasing the magic smoke?!' "...

And field sounds to confuse people with (although that does sound like a good strategy... I kid, I kid).
I was the one who mentioned 'more sounds' and I stand by that statement. Our robot will be louder than ever. Some might say we like to make a bang, but I'd say we like to make a boom (or perhaps an ahhhh BOOM!).

As opposed to an Oink Oink Boom...
I know what's coming but I won't tell :p

It's a giant hammer, isn't it! :D

Pretty close. It's like Das Boot, but about 2 times longer and 3 times heavier.

I understood an FRC reference!! Heh.
