that was another match. actually i think that was the final match of the semi finals and we would have won had it not been for the fabric! lol! oh well! I love this picture. i already have bragged about it to all my friends! great job everyone!

I have to say, that was definitely one of the most exciting matches I've ever coached. We were all the way on the other side of the field with under 30 seconds left to play. I saw 1094 was having trouble getting up 2177's ramp, and told Jon, our driver: "Come back and give them a push!". Of course, Jon's idea of a "push" was to hit them at full speed in high gear, but, it did get the job done. It certainly made for an exciting finish!

Anyways, I'd also like to thank our alliance partners (2177 and 1094) for one of the most exciting set of elimination matches I've played in. It truly was a team effort from all of us, and that's something you don't see too often. You guys were great, and I hope to see you all again sometime.

haha thats awesome someone got a picture of it, i could only watch from the stands and all i saw were the refs laughing, but considering our entire trip to St. Louis this has to be on the top list of best memories

I keep hearing about a “piece of fabric.” Can you enlighten those of us who were on the other side of the field what that was?

the bumpers on 830 are, as i am sure you can tell, designed so that they help the entire robot look like a Michigan Football helmet. Part of this includes a yellow layer attached to a blue layer of fabric. The yellow layer was detached from the edge of the front bumper, thus allowing it to hang down to the floor. It proceeded to hang down for the entirety of the time remaining in the match, and to my knowledge kept 830's alliance from winning one of the SF matches. If this bumper had stayed attached, would the regional have ended differently? Thats not my call to make. In any case, this picture is truly a feat, and one of the more memorable moments of week one, if not the entire season.

Thanks, I was wondering how we won that round. I haven’t seen any pictures or video of that side of the field.

Re: pic: 2177 supporting 830 & 1094
 

what was the matter with the fabric hanging down? Were points not given because the fabric was hanging below the height needed to get points, or were points taken away just because of the fabric? sorry, i never really understood the whole fabric thing..

Re: pic: 2177 supporting 830 & 1094
 

Yes. The fabric on our bumpers was hanging such that it was only 2" off the ground. Since that was considered the "lowest point" of our robot, we didn't get any bonus points for being up on your ramp.

Re: pic: 2177 supporting 830 & 1094
 

that was soo lame, you guys played amazing defense
