One of my mentors long ago told me a story about how creative FIRST teams can be in playing games. Unfortunately, I don't remember the team numbers but the situation was as follows:
During 2004 (First Frenzy: Raising the Bar), one of the teams had a net in which they could catch all the balls from above when they dropped. They were very good at what they did, and their robot seemed unstoppable.
Until another team figured out they could drop the doubling ball in their net, thus jamming the robot and preventing them from catching any of the balls.
If any of you were around long enough to witness this, please let me know who was involved. I'd love to see it on Youtube (if it exists).

Found it on the Internet Wayback Machine page and uploaded it to Youtube.
Enjoy.
