game of 2 on 0, who won
 

At the MN Regional during the Practice rounds there was a match of 2 robots on 0, guess who won.

The team with 0 robots, with a score of 24 to 0.

The team with 2 had penalty's which brought the score down to 0 and the team with out a robot still had their trackballs on the overpass and they won.

Good thing it was practice...

In Waterloo there was a qualifying match that was a 1 on 1. One robot fell over during hybrid mode, making the match a 1 v 0. The fallen robot violated G22, resulting in a 10 point penalty. Despite all this, the alliance with no moving robots almost won the match, losing 20-14. If the fallen robot had not taken that penalty, they would have won 24-20. In fact the only saving grace of the winning alliance was that they failed to remove their second trackball from the overpass, despite multiple attempts. This was by far the strangest match I have ever seen.

Where was the match with 11 consecutive <G22>s? We were told about it at the MN regional. Apparently, one robot spun on a line and the refs called 11 penalties for breaking the plane.

Wow, I have yet to witness such crazy matches. The worst (or should I say strangest) match for me was where in a practice match, 2261's robot (frontal steering) was stuck turning left and went back and forth until they crossed their own finish line. Technically, they should have recieved over 8 <G22>s but for some reason the ref's only counted one. The fact that they managed to make it across after so many back and forth movements was pretty funny. :P

Was that the one where i was robocoaching? I was right next to the bot and i dont beleive it was a practice match. But it seriously moved over the line a million times and the refs told them just to disable the bot because they were causing so many penalties. They only counted two though. (Colorado)

my stategy for that is to take down the other team's track balls and dont wory about yours be cause they'll take tyours off for you because they dont want you to have the bonus points.
:cool:

One of the strangest matches I saw, was at LSR where all 5 competing robots broke down with about 40 seconds left in the match. It was painful to watch, with no action and the clock ticking down. This was during one of the qualification matches, not practice.

Ah, what a wonderful game, where you don't even have to show up to win!
(Okay, so it was Practice, but still... if the game was so predictable it wouldn't be fun to watch.)

I believe there was a match at the Arizona Regional where a team racked up 130 points worth of penalties by going over the line in circles during hybrid. Pretty sure it was a qualification match too

Re: game of 2 on 0, who won
 

I believe this actually happened during elimations at a match in Boston. The refs clearly counted up to 11 or something, but only counted it as 1 or 2 (I forget). I don't know if it was mercy or if the robot actually did not continuously keep on breaking the plane, but they seemed to be doing it in circles pretty consistently.
