The four-bots-hanging match at VCU was amazing! It was the tie-breaker third match of the third quarter-finals, and whichever alliance won went forward to the semi-finals. Four robots head for the bar while the human players start plinking purple balls into the goals. As the second, then the third, and then the fourth robot reached for the bar, the crowd went nuts. As the fourth robot cleared the ground with just a few seconds left to go, bedlam erupted in the place, and virtually everyone was on their feet. I was screaming at Jeff Seaton "that's what we wanted to see happen!!!" Then the scores came in from the refs - no penalties, and a difference in the scores of only one 5-point ball. About as perfect, and as exciting, a match as anyone could ever hope for!!!
At least until the third game of the finals took place...
