I don't remember what match it happened it, but one match was tied with under 10 seconds to go, both alliances had possession of their ball and are going for a truss shot to win. The red alliance got their shot off first and it cleared the truss for 10 points. Then the blue alliance shoots their ball, and just as it leaves the robot it collides with the red ball that is coming down from the truss shot and deflects away. A few inches further over on the red ball shot and blue would have tied it up at the buzzer.
As a side note for the regional, the box lunch delivery was one of the smoothest lunch breaks I've seen for our team at a regional. Usually it is utter chaos with missing sandwiches, long walks outside in the cold, and mentors trying to corral students who "forgot" where the meeting place was. Having food delivered into the venue, and having a place to eat it right there was quite convenient.
