Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

Nominate your play of the year, tell about it, put up pics, or link videos.

Mine comes from Quarter Final 3, Match 3 of the Midwest Regional. Us (team 45) need to cap the goal to win, but team 93 has something to say about that. 93 opens their ball catching doors and makes space between our robot and the goal, but our robot has the power to reach over, set it in place and lift the ball up and hang it there so 93 cannot just flip it out. Thus, winning the match, and sending us to the semis.

I will second that Nomination!

mine was when we went to hang, 67 took the 2x ball and capped the mobile goal. then after the other team caping thier goal under our ball drop 67 took that ball and capped the staionary goal with out driving anywhere, after that they went to hang with us and the other two teams were hanign too... i believe it was the 220 match...

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

i would have to say in the semis of NJ, when 11 tried to hang against 237. They got their hook arm within like an inch of the bar, and raised up. Little did they know they were hanging on 237's wires and not the bar! that was such a great match. It was horrible to watch our alliance lose by 1 ball, but hey that match was intense! :)

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

D.J. I got just one question. How did that ball get stuck like that because you would think that it would just roll down the pipes and rest on the shorter ones? :confused:

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

Static Electricity? Honestly im not sure what else to say...oddly enough that would have been the 2nd time thats happened

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

2nd? when was the first?

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

I think the best was at the FL regional when with about 30 seconmds left my team(1368) needed to cap our mobile goal but swamp thing was holding our ball, we chased them to the other side of the field and took the ball directly from thier grip, at the same time, flipping them on thier side (sorry), we then rushed back to try and cap before the time was up... unfortunatly, our gear shifting mechanism put the bot into neutral wasting about the 3 precious seconds we needed...

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

I don't think anybody at great lakes could forget the match 79 re-match, when we (67) capped the 1241 hopper with a multiplier ball, making it impossible for any balls to fall into it (which, up until that point, had helped them win every match).



One of the most memorable matches I've seen.

BTW great job team 1241, you guys are the best rookies I've seen, and that's a great design.

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

The play of the year has to be when team 67 capped team 1241's robot just before all of the balls dumped. That was really cool to see.

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

Oh it has got to be in that match between 230 (Gael Hawks) and 173 (RAGE) during UTC.
As both robot went to hang at the exact same time and in the exact same point and raised at the exact same time in smack dab middle they managed to raise the multiplyer from the platform and lift it into the air wedged between the two bots.
With only a few seconds left 230 fell off the bar when they pivoted on the ball and lost itheir grip on the bar after some finagling by RAGE, while their robot remand hanging strong for the win! :ahh: Impressive

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

aaaaagh that was devastating (i was on that alliance) but i must agree, probably the best play ive seen at least.

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

It looks as though the ball was pushed into the pipes so there are 2 pipes on one side of the ball and 2 on the other.

My ASCII artwork needs some work. It all makes sense in my head

As much as I loved the strategy on our 1241 capping match, I would have to say that my favorite match was Buckeye quarterfinals when we filled our mobile goal, capped it, went over, stole the cap from the other teams mobile goal, backwards capped ours then went over to hang with our partner for the nation's high score. I was seriously having a heartattack!

Re: Nomiante Your Play of the Year!
 

Well my favorite play would have to be in the finals at UTC when we flipped in autonomous mode and our partner RAGE came to our rescue and righted us we may have lost that match 135-150 but I think that it was awesome that RAGE came to our rescue.
