Coin toss
In Archimedes match #81 on the Newton Field Combbat 21 and team 28, faced 329 and a team i'm sorry i can't remember (from new york). Now this wasn't a high scoring match or one where amazing feats of strength were achieved. It was your average 30 something to 30 something match. In this case it was 31-31 tie. so the tie breakers started, each team had one ball in a goal, one goal in scoring position, two robots in scoring position and the tie breaker went on. they even counted total balls on the floor on both sides. when that proved to be equal they brought out a quater dollar coin. Red was assigned tails and Blue heads. The field was still as it was when the matched ended. The coin was tossed it hit the carpet and rolled. It made a quarter turn and leaned up next to 329's tether. the quarter wasn't close to being flat on the ground but the refs ruled it was closer to heads then tails. In the end we were on the losing side of what had to be one of the closest matches in FIRST history.
