That was pretty awesome.
The above referenced match is one of my personal favorite matches from NECMP.

It is described in our posting for video of your team's best match. 1519 ended up rescuing both alliance partners in that match.

This link goes directly to just before the push from the neutral zone, over the outer works, and up the batter to get the capture.

My favorite part is our driver's "brush-by-nudge" on the outbound route to get 1058 pointed in the right direction to subsequently push over the slot 3 defense.

We ended up going to the batter much earlier than we usually would; it didn't take as long to get 1058 onto the batter as we had expected. Pushing them onto the batter was sufficient for an extra spot in the rankings for seeding - we knew we needed the capture, as it was our last qualification match (the second-to-last qual match of the tournament.)
