Ken,
It was an honor to team up with your team again. We had a great time and we had a great alliance. Next year we will have to team up again and get to the final!! or beyond!!

Have a great year and thank you so much for having faith in our team and picking us.

We now have video of the above match (Newton SemiFinal 1-2) on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PDf7Vb2aCU.

We have also put the other Newton elimination rounds of our alliance with 1983 and 181 on youtube as well. These can be seen on 1519's channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/FRCteam1519.

I enjoyed being able to re-watch our elimination round matches, as it reminded me of some cool moments from these rounds:

• Putting up 80 basket points as an alliance in Newton QF 2-2.
  
  
• Scoring 3 for 3 in hybrid in the same match (QF2-2) by getting an additional ball from the alliance bridge. I don't recall seeing any other teams on Newton do this in competition matches -- were there teams doing this on other fields?
  
  
• Coming "oh so close" in SF1-1 with so many things that cost us a few points which would have turned the tide: (1) our hybrid which inexplicably didn't fire the first 2 shots from the key, instead making only the one from the alliance bridge, (2) our harvester jamming up for nearly half the match, (3) having to improvise our strategy on the fly during the match when 181's bridge tipper broke, (4) not going for the triple balance in our improvised strategy, and (5) having the referee erroneously count the only penalty in the match against blue, rather than for blue! However, I suspect that the Newton winners of 548, 118, and 2194 probably have just as many "what ifs" in the same match that would have given them even more points, too!
  
  
• Knowing where and when 118 would be coming for the triple balance in SF1-2 and having 1983 try to slow them down just enough with a solid block so that 118 wouldn't have time to triple balance.
  
  
• Pulling off a quick triple-balance (the first competition attempt for all three of our robots) on our very first try on a real field! It was thrilling to lose to the Newton Champions knowing that we had given our best in the last match we played (SF1-2).

Kudos are due to the Newton Champions of 548, 118, and 2194 -- we were rooting for you out on Einstein! We're sorry we didn't get to see you on Einstein at the full strength we saw on Newton!

I'd also like to congratulate the Curie Alliance of 341, 78, 254 on their 128-point performance without the help of any penalties. Awesome job!

Re: Highest score so far?
 

We were consistently scoring 1 ball from the alliance bridge in Curie elims.

Re: Highest score so far?
 

This was crazy. I was not expecting to see that while watching the video. I watched it like 3 times. 1983 looked like a linebacker catching 118 (running back) in the hole. What a hit...:yikes:

Re: Highest score so far?
 

I hadn't heard about that! Well done!

Actually, I just watched the video linked above from the 128-point match on Curie and see that 254 pulled off the 3 for 3, with a ball from the alliance bridge in that match. However, even though the ball went through the hoop just a moment before the end of hybrid (the bridge lights were still on when it dropped through), it was only scored as a 3-pointer, instead of a 6-pointer. So, by my reckoning, that 128-point match should have really been 131!

I love watching that instant on the "inset view" in the upper right corner of the video!

When I congratulated Lucien of 118 on their win after that match, he was still laughing and joking about that hit -- he didn't recall 118 taking a hit quite like that one all year, and he wanted to know if it was our team that delivered it -- as much as I wanted to take credit for it, 1983 was the one to do it!

Re: Highest score so far?
 

That hit was one of our better moments .... we knew they were coming and had already scouted the time and the place...
It was timed really well but we regret it wasn't just a little bit harder..
They had a terrific alliance...

I was in the pit doing repairs and was really sad that I missed that match.
Awesome job!

Re: Highest score so far?
 

Does anyone have the highest scoring matches without triple balances? Or the highest losing score? There were some crazy ones at IRI.

Re: Highest score so far?
 

I think the highest one was 103. Not sure when, it was in one of the elimination matches I think.

Re: Highest score so far?
 

Re: Highest score so far?
 

I believe you're talking about Quarterfinal 4-1, Alliance 3:104, Alliance 6:103.

What a match.

Re: Highest score so far?
 

Yes, that's the one. And yes, fantastic match :D
