Excitement at IRI this year.

I've watched a few IRI's in the past, and this one had to be one of the most interesting I have seen.

The entire event was absolutely amazing. Every match there were 3 robots that worked great, and truly showed how this game looked at the highest level of competition. It was like division elims and Einstein throughout quals and elims, which is how this game is made to be played.

Then we got to eliminations, and had to have some of the most incredible things that I have ever seen in my entire time in first.

First, we had 254's amazing human player shot. I still don't know how he pulled that off, but that had to be the shot of the year.

Next, we had our match, where all 3 robots died around the same time. It was really funny just seeing the looks on everyone's faces, and watching the video of our drive team just smiling as the match continues with all 3 robots dead. I have never seen all 3 robots on 1 alliance dead without there being a major problem with the field, and it was just interesting to see.

Then we had the match where 1625 threw the ball at the score table and reset the wifi. Also one of the oddest things I have ever seen.

Anybody else have some exciting moments or experiences either this year or in the past?

Sorry about the weird flow. I'm tired and can't really piece what I want to say together right now.
