Doesn't show them spinning much, since 71 is hooked on.

I wish I had saved the 2002 Einstein matches to my computer. They were hosted by NASA for a long time but disappeared awhile ago. The semifinal matchup was one of the greatest set of matches in FIRST history. Quintessential "irresistible force meets immovable object" matchup. The finals with 180 vs 71 were nearly as good as well.

A lot of people really hated 2002, but I loved that game. There were so many amazingly well engineered robots that solved the challenge in a lot of different ways. 60's robot is perhaps the most gorgeously sleek robot of all time. We'll probably never see another game in which there were multiple robots that were practically unbeatable.
