As the 30 second bell rang, both alliances were tied up at 100 points each, and all 3 robots from each side headed to their bridges to triple balance, which both alliances successfully accomplished. As this was happening, a human player on our alliance (I think it was 469's human player) threw a full-court 2-point shot, putting us in the lead. However, then a human player on the opposing alliance threw a full-court 3-point shot, putting us down by 1 point. Our alliance's human player then threw ANOTHER 2-point shot in the final seconds, putting us up by 1 point, and winning us the match 104-103. Definitely on the top of my most memorable heart-pounding moments. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqJJnTFFEmgt=250

One of my all-time favorite matches I've participated in.
