IMHO Rebound Rumble>>>Logomotion
I don't know how I forgot that moment! That was one of the most exciting moments behind the glass as a member of 3467! For those who don't know at Battlecry four 5 points dots were placed on the coop bridge. Two side by side in the middle of the bridge and one on each end. During elims a battle would ensue to get those 10 points in the middle. During our first eighth finals match (seed 9 in blue vs 8 in red) 839 gets up on the bridge halfway through the match and covers the 10 points. Our driver starts harassing the bridge to at least keep 839 from covering a dot and takes advantage of a moment when the bridge tips to our side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUJLo...2&feature=plcp

Best event was by far Mayhem In Merrimack. Our team got to use some new drivers who went all the way to the finals. Losing to our good friends on 1519! There we also played some more boss bridge defense as any robot balanced on the coop bridge was worth 20 points. In one tight match the score was 20 to 11 going for the bridges. Our partner did a single balance and we kept the bridge up winning the match 21 to 20.
