At the end when it was revealed that they got a penalty and a yellow card for overextention it made it even more perplexing. They won, so I guess it really doesn't matter. I was just curious.

Any thoughts or things that I overlooked?

They accidentally deployed early - still not sure why (I never asked them what happened afterwards). They/we decided they should hang to avoid taking any further penalties. Somehow we still managed to score enough to win it. That was an extremely tough semifinals - 2 ties and then both wins came down to the hanging robots at the end. We had to play the last 3 back to back to back because 294/67/177 were already done. Then we had the 3 finals matches. There was one timeout in there, but our drive motors were plenty hot (no pun intended) by the end of finals. Congrats to 294/67/177 - you guys were fun to play against. And of course, congrats on the BIG win on Einstein - Awesom job!

I forgot to add; thanks to 16 and 343. Bomb Squad - you guys are great strategists and it was fun pairing up with you. Our robots really seemed to compliment each other. Metal in Motion - we couldn't have asked any more of you. You guys played some great defense at the end there and you played smart. Plus your hangs were keys to our getting through the semifinals - Thanks!

Team 668 had a blast again at the Championships. Newton was a great division with a lot of amazing teams.

First off, I'm extremely pleased at how well the whole event went. Our robot was not as great as we wanted it to be after SD and SVR, so we made one major change to our robot in the weeks between SVR and the Championships that we think made us a much better bot. Just getting into the playoffs and making it to the semis was great.

Our alliance partners, 2757 and 20 were amazing. 2757 played outstanding defense on two bots in the quarters and 20 kept feeding us balls in the offensive zone to score. 2137, 971, and 525, you guys made those quarterfinal matches intense and it was great playing with you. 294, 67, and 177 you guys were amazing out there and you truly deserved to win it all.

One more thing I'd like to add: being in Qual 87 was a whole lot of fun. Playing with 67 and 971 (right after a match against them, too) was great and it was up against some great teams in 910, 525, and 932. That was one of the best matches we've played in this season.

From a ref's viewpoint, Newton was a GREAT field! It is never fun to call a penalty, especially one for a small mistake or a momentary lapse in judgement (love you HOT! ::safety:: ) but all of you handled everything like the professionals you are. Thanks to all of you and too bad they don't let both finalist teams go to Einstein.....We may have gotten to see another Newton finals!

Wow, considering it wasn't intended you guys pulled it off like champs. Watching from the webcast I never would have guessed that something had gone wrong, you guys just took it in stride and didn't miss a beat. Impressive work!

I was watching newton from noon onward via webcast. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and couldn't have asked for a better show! Congratulations to all who competed, especially 67, 294, and 177 for their amazing victory. Great show, and hopefully next year we'll be able to make it down to St. Louis to face off with all you amazing teams!

thats what it was. we couldn't figure it out. in the previous match our defensive robot had tried to pin one robot in to goal to prevent scoring and hanging points. we assumed it was to avoid that. good match though.

Wow, that was a fun ride. A big thanks to 1718 and 16 for being great partners, helping us when we needed it, and keeping our spirits up. Putting up 34 pre-penatly points was awesome.
Also a big congratulations to the national champs that this talent packed division produced. 294, 67, and 177 were great to play against and very hard to beat as the other division champs also found out. It was also fun to play a little D against HOT.
The 1922, 1073, 102 alliance was tough to beat too. Two ties and having to run back to back to back was crazy!
Again, thanks to "Pi Bombs in Motion" for the wild ride. Let's do it again next year in St. Louis!

Edit:
Scoring 34 takes it's toll on the human players.

"Ridiculous" is probably the best way to describe this guy. I think he goes by Sir Charles?

Sir Charles is THE MAN. Qualification matches were never a bit dull when he was announcing. Most entertaining matches. Ever. We loved this guy.:D

I happened to have the media pass for our team for that match. I forgot how much defense was going on all over the field - makes the final score even more impressive. I took some video, but it's identical to the opening shot during autonomous (with us bouncing two balls off of 932 instead of scoring them.)

Who is the announcer on the right? He Emceed in Manchester and Boston and did a great job. My personal favorite. (The guy on the left was pretty good too)

This is the match that got us worried because it gave the winning alliance 58 ranking points and put 67 back in the hunt with us for the #1 seed! We kept asking ourselves...how did they pull themselves back into it? Now I know!

Awesome match to all in it!
