My favorite play at the Sacramento Regional was in the semifinals against 295 and some other team (I can't remember who). There were about 5 seconds left, and both of the other alliance's bots were on the ramp. I drove our robot up, pushed both of their robots off the ramp, got on the ramp, and our alliance partner (fembots) got on the ramp also (they might have been pushing too, all of the elimination rounds are a blur to me) and we made sure the other bots couldn't get back on in the remaining few seconds. After that match, the IFI guy came over and told our alliance that that was the play of the day.

Another cool play was at the end of the finals when Cheesy Poofs had one of their arms down which locked into the ramp mesh with like 7 seconds left in the match. I backed our robot into them, their robot got lifted up a little bit, and finally the arms got separated from the ramp and we pushed them off and got on.

Last cool play-
I'm not sure which elimination round this was, but the Fembots were headed up the ramp with little time left. Right as their front caster touched the HDPE, the clock ran out. The Fembots coasted up onto the ramp and we won that round. It was really cool.
