Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

We have actually had a lot of team discussion on "that match" and "that shot".

Bottom line is the red alliance won the match and the regional 2 -1. Blue alliance got outscored in 2m:15s of play, not in the last 2 seconds.

Our HP took the shot because the match was very close, and we could not take the risk on the real time scoring accuracy. That is part of the excitement of competition.

And, we have already said, in the same situation again, take that shot. We have a lot of faith and confidence in his judgement and his ability.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

Funny things is, half of my team (461) didn't know he had scored on our alliance when it happened... :o
As everyone else that was there has said, he made a great shot. That super cell went straight in, no bouncing around.
He was the best HP at Boilermaker (Wildstang's HP gets a honorable mention) and I'll bet he will redeem himself in Atlanta.

Regardless, it was great to see my team to have a chance to play with teams 234 and 45, and congrats again to 1024, 868, and 292. I wish all of them good luck at the Championships, only wish I could be going with them.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

I have an EPIC FAIL supercell shot.

One that came in the last 2 seconds, immidiatly after the only empty cell in the thrower's vacinty has been thrown by him.

Watch at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9EQxtRJgE0 from 2:07

Final score was 66:65 to the Red alliance that got scored by the super cell.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

I saw that shot I was standing right behind him. It was soooo amazing!!!!!! He must have hit it with a lot of power for it too have bounced.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

At FLR, Quarter Final 3 Match 1,(Red) 191,173 ,1503 VS (Blue) 1511, 316, 340.

Blue is down 62 to 83 in the closing seconds. 1503 gets tied up with 1511 and 1511 makes a nice move to pin and 340 moves in behind to fully pin them.

340 Human player, drains TWO super cells on 1503, one of which bounced in off the top of 1511's trailer to win the match 92-83. It was epic.

I'll work on getting a video up. You Rock Ben!

Team 2022 at the Midwest Regional. This girl was a BEAST, and she is basically the reason why we had the only win against the 1625/111 super alliance in all of elims. She drained a 40 footer shot during the Semi's, not to mention another one previously in the quarter-finals.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

I have to agree to this one, and we were on the winning in. I did not see it go in and, even after the match, had thought we loss.

I remember thinking that he had gotten into score (he is so accurate, how could he not? after watching him take shot after shot all weekend and not miss) for his own team because of the cheers that erupted afterwards. Such an epic match....even with the results, I still believe 234's human player is the one to beat out there.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

The shot wasn't epic but in one of the semifinal matches in Boston a HP on the blue alliance shot a super cell, it missed then rolled across the field into the red alliance outpost station where our HP picked it up scored it.

Was pretty funny to see

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

One of the kids from the Brazilian team (1772) sank one heck of a shot during practice rounds - from the blue corner he tossed it across at least 3/4 of the field - diagonally - to sink it in the last 3 seconds. I went to him to congratulate him, but he didn't speak English. One of his teammates translated. He said Thank You in English.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

My favorite Supercell moment happened in match 12 of the OKC regional.
In the last 10 seconds of the match, us and our alliance partner (1742 Shockwave) pushed 2763 into the corner, so 1742's human player could score a supercell at the buzzer.
I haven't seen that kind of robot teamwork in any of the matches before or after.
Its kind of hard to see in the video, but if you look closely enough, you can see us both pushing at the same time at 2:14 in the video.

congrats to 1742 on the regional win, and thanks to 2763 for being such great competitors!

Not a direct link, you'll need to download it.

Our human player made a super cell with 5 seconds left that ended up winning th match for our alliance. It was a close match the whole time, and the trailer it went into may not have been moving, but it was still indeed a clutch shot.

Also, how could I forget our very first match. It was once again a very close match, which because of 9 penalties, appeared as a blow out. Our human player made this shot almost halfway across the field. In fact, you get a great overhead shot of it with seven seconds left. Once again, you need to download it to see it.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

I would have to agree with Justin on the double supercell shot during FLR Quarters. Well played, I felt so hopeless when you got me pinned there. That could be a championship winning move.

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

this wasn't a super cell shot but during the philly regional Moe's, 365, human player shot a moon rock on to the top of their robot's trailer town and got it to stay for a few seconds.


our human player during the philly regional had two back to back super cell shots at half court range. nothing really exciting about it though happened 10 seconds left in the match and we where up anyway if i remember

Re: Most epic supercell shot?
 

Most memorable moment of 2009 for me so far. Such a great finish. Ben's awesome! I hope we're in the same division in Atlanta this year. It would be great to work with you guys again. Maybe we could even make an all-Rochester alliance :D
