Yes, that was one of my favorites. For everyone who hasn't seen 254's robot this year, they only shoot when they are up against the wall on the ramp right in front of the goal. Well, after the first Finals match had been played everyone saw the power of 254's design, once they got lined up under the goal they could pop about twenty balls in to the center in about ten seconds. In the third Finals match (Cheesy Poofs' shooter malfunctioned in the second, so they lost) 360 decided to keep 254's robot from getting in position, by sitting under the goal exactly where they had to be to shoot. 254 got their alliance partner, 753, who had treads, to get up on the ramp next to 360 and shove them out of the way, then back off and give the Cheesy Poofs a chance to get their shots in. It worked great, and sealed the match. Amazing teamwork!
