IRI Semi-Final 1 all of the matches were all insane. I think they crushed us the first match where the beast didnt make it on the ramp but then we came back in match 2 and won by 4 with a score of 137-133 thanks to a penalty on their side otherwise we would have lost there. Match 3 was just crazy but when I saw the beast get up on the ramp I new we had it. I'm not completely sure but I think SM-1 match 2 was the highest combined scoring round this year and yes that is my favorite match this year.

I vote for the entire finals at IRI as the most exciting matches I have seen al year. Both sets of semi-finals and then the final matches! WOW.

Yeah, those were definitely some crazy rounds. It was a real party... everyone's robots were all over the place! Thanks so much for the great time, guys; you did an amazing job. I can't wait to play against you all again.

Don't know exactly when it was. But it was at Western Michigan. Team 70 (More Martians) driver had high speed ramming against 111 (Wildstang) and tipped their bot over as it was coming off the ramp.
At IRI, 111 kindly repayed the favor and had 70 pinned in the corner for almost the entire match. 111 and their alliance ended up winning but it was fun to watch the two bots struggle.

Do you ever think what Dean and Woodie say when they hear the news that some teams have gotten 133-137 score on a game that they spent so long creating.

What broke my heart was that it was originally 138-137, but the 5 point penalty for the human player out of the box lost it for them.

Who would have thought you could lose with a 133???

Newton semi final 2-1, 195 fell over and in the last few seconds, we tip them back up and also newton final match 2, when we tip over and team 25 pulled some serious wheelie action to tip us back, now those were awesome matches. and who can forget the first round of the LA regional, a tie, it took them the Hokey Pokey, Cotton-Eye Joe, the Cha-Cha Slide, and i believe they also did the YMCA and the Electric Silde as well before the scores were announced. A tie, 44-44, now that cought everyone off guard.

I think the best performance 1547 has had was with 296 in NH. Its pretty much the farthest we've gone in competition and our teams worked really well together. Thanks again for picking us!! Yay Canadian alliance!!!!

I've gotta continue the motion for all of the Newton Final Matches those were some nail biters. But my personal favorites were the Einstein finals matches, the strategy was incredible, those were the matches that were impossible to predict. I always appreciate some good strategy.

Also, I gotta admit that the match at the PNWR with 488 and 254 battling it out to the last 15 seconds was amazing. I am glad that those have already been mentioned. The drivers I am sure had a fun time with that one, that was a battle of the drivers. Props have to go to team 488,956 and 1839 for getting back fast enough to block 254, and also for making your job easier getting 753 out of the way, they are one tough cookie. I hope everybody in that match had fun with that one.

And one last match, I promise, the finals at the PNWR with 254, 753, and 114 which looking at their history were meant to be in the finals, but I mean 360 came out of nowhere, they played a remarkable game beating 254's alliance once with some pretty good defense. I look forward to seeing 360 next year at the PNWR, good luck you guys.

IRI, Semifinals. Beatty, Winnovation, and Foley vs. Raider, Niagra, and Killerbees

Everyone was on their feet. It was incredible.

I agree - what an amazing series of matches. We'll try to at least come close to that excitement level in a few weeks at Kettering.

Not taking anything away from the amazing accomplishment of 71, 1625, and 910 in that match (or in the rest of their championship run), but that match was kinda a fluke. The red alliance wins that match 9 out of 10 times. If the HP penalty doesnt happen, red wins. If 25 doesn't tip (and therefor allow 71 to unload the most amazing volley seen this year), red wins. If red hits 2 more shots, red wins. If blue hits 2 less shots, red wins. If red has one more robot on the ramp, red wins. Etc etc etc.
But that aside, it was the best match ever played in FIRST. 138-137, or 137-133, either way. It had everything. Yes, even defense (which you wouldn't think it had by the score). Those bots were just so good, that even when defended, all it takes is a split second of open fire and they can put up huge amounts of points. Autonomous was decided by 1 ball. After that Red looked to be dominating, until 25 tips right before the transition to the final period. Then Beatty unloads a barrage of scoring never seen before. The goal was literally overflowing with balls. Human players jump right into action, loading up 1114 for a return volley, but after penalties, it turned up just shy.
It absolutely crushed the spirits of the #1 seeded alliance, but they put up a valiant effort in the 3rd match, but that match was clearly in favor of the Beatty, Winnovation, Foley alliance. It was honestly the greatest match, and greatest elimination series, I have ever witnessed, dwarfing even the Newton SF2 series (and the members of Team 25 I spoke to agreed on that).
