Which brings up another point about spoilers. You have to use major strategy in order to use a spoiler appropriately. We didn't score any more ringers after the spoiler was placed and they only had one row of three. Wouldn't it have been better for their ranking points to score another ringer to increase their row rather than trying to use a spoiler on ours?

Yep that was us. (who placed the spoiler)

As I see it there really is no use for spoilers. 103 didn't even touch a spoiler and we won the NJ reigonal. As long as you can keep splacing ringers there really is no point in trying to put a spoiler on the rack. It's just my opinion but spoilers just aren't a major part of the game.

Unfortunately this isn't true. At the Great Lakes Regional in the semi-finals we lost by twelve points due to 2 spoilers that took away 24 points. As a result we were eliminated. This shows that when used strategically spoiler can be very effective. :(

815 kindof got jipped out of the finals, not saying anything bad about anyone else, but we were pretty sweet, so to say, i just wanted to say how cool our mentors are! The mentors on our team have really helped us come a long way, without taking control of the team, they let us participate in the competition without hesitation. so yeah, our team is pretty sweet.

I know that at GLR in our match vs 1114,67,57 we woulda won both matches if we coulda got the spoiler on. :confused:
But i think that matches will be Dependant on the spoiler

At the Kansas City Regional team I may have missed any others, but team 16 placed a spoiler on the rack during one of their qualification matches against us (team 935). With time running out at the end of the match our bot tore the spoiler off and crushed the life from it. It was flat by the final buzzer.

i remember in a practice match we placed 2 spoilers which dramatically changed the outcome of the match... it went from 32-16 to 10-16

At SVR, it was us vs. 114. Both teams were undefeated with a 6-0 record. In the last moments, two of their robots brought out spoilers. Though we blocked one, the other robot managed to place theirs.
