The 8th seeded alliance at VCU beat the 1st seeded alliance in the quarterfinals.

Then they beat the 5th seeded alliance in the semi-finals.

They lost 2-0 in the finals to the 3rd seeded alliance - but they still made it to the finals with supposedly the lowest ranked teams and got plenty of recognition (good and bad). They used a very defensive strategy - sacrificing one robot that could not cap reliably (about 50%) to play very hard defense.
