Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

Boston SF1 Match 2

Any others comparable? (match where spoiler was used to turn around the match score)

KA-108 :cool:

At the Waterloo regional Q2-4. They did video replay to get the score right.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

For those of us who weren't there, would you care to elaborate on what happened in these matches. Spoilers weren't really used at the NASA/VCU or Chesapeake Regional and I'm interested in hearing how they were effectively used.

GLR SF2-2
Not one, but two spoilers on the red row of 6.

edit: Sean beat me to it

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

Thanks! That was a pretty amazing match. Spoilers, when used properly, really can change the outcome of a game.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

Team 888 put a spoiler on in the first elimination match at cheasapeake. Then spike took it off (o well they could have put 2 more tubes on in the time it took them to get it off:D )

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

Unquestionably the spoiler placed by 236 in UTC QF 2-3

Unfortunately the camera was focusing on bots climbing ramps rather than 236's amazing spoiler

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

Was it just me or were ramp not a factor in the Boston Elims? I have to admit, he finals were the best series of games I've seen this year.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

That was a nice match! very good job on blue for spoiling, I noticed at first they had the spoiler in the wrong place, but they fixed it, and just moving the spoiler over one spot cost red the game.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

yes that was a good one.
dont forget the one after that....SF2 Match 3....where 1626 takes offf a spoiler.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

I don't remember the team that placed to spoiler for the 1626's alliance at Boston, but it was definitely cool to watch 1626 take the spoiler out of the game.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

I sooooo take credit for that one :D That was probably the best set of matches I have ever taken part in. Both wins for us in the semi-finals were attributed to our strategic use of the spoiler. Not only did we spoil their row with 2 spoilers, we also managed to complete our row of 6 in the remaining time.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

You can find the video of that match here

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

It's a good thing they did that. I had to watch carefully to see how the double red got onto the arm below the spoiler. It was actually that extra tube and not the spoiler itself that swung the match. (With extra tube: 27-28. Without that tube: 31-28.)

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

All 3 finals matches in boston =D

i belive spoilers were placed + revomed!!! in all 3 matches...

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

San Diego SF2-1(?) had the only spoiler that stuck. Too bad the ramps beat it out. Someone tried one in the finals. It never made it.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

ramps were not as vital in the finals in boston because of the types of teams playing....i loved the fact that ramps were a little scaled back...it made for some incredible "tubage"

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

I agree with one notable exception.

Was it MA Finals #3 where Team 125 gets on top of 69... With about 4 seconds left they floor it perfectly onto the ramp. If they hadn't (and red hadn't gotten a 10pt penalty) the match would have been tied and gone to a #4. Very exciting finish.

(unfortunatly the soap movie doesn't show the ramping, but I do have footage from my digi-cam...will upload next week)

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

it might be QF3-3 you are thinking of. it would have changed the whole game if we (585) and 812 had stayed on 968 for a few more seconds. 1425 got that spoiler on and we thought we had the match if 812 could come and drop their ramps. 585's bot died after the stand with our signal light and radio was bent down and knocked out. 1425 was caught up in the rack and 968 already had their ramps down.

good match.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

I do remember this!! i happened to be coaching team 125 at the time ;) Thanks for pointing this out though...it was incredible

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

At SD, 1425 did a spoiler in the QF 3-3 match, but it was not enough to change the outcome. 1425 also did a spoiler in one of the preliminaries that changed a possible loss into a win.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

In practice matches in Los Angeles, team 330 had a run of 7 going... in the last 10-15 seconds, their opponent put a spoiler on row. The Beach Bots then took that spoiler off, and successfully placed it on one of the only two ringers their opposing alliance had.
Great way to finish a round.

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

We had a great spoiler placed againt us at the Finger Lakes Regional. In the last twenty seconds, 354 came across the field at negated our row of eight. What an awesome play! FLR Match 22

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

THAT MATCH WAS HARD !!!!! YOU GUYS COMPLETED THE WHOLE ROW, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS SPOIL IT ! : )

Re: Best Spoiler Match 2007
 

I'll second the GLR SF2-2.

Also, most elimination matches with 1596 were amazing. If they didnt place a spoiler in every match, they got darned close to it.
