Smile Re: 2006 Best Robot Match Ever?

Best of this year, for us? That would probably have to be the second match of the finals. (1629/175/1184 vs. 181/888/1218) We had waited through two 6 minute time outs, and all the robots were finally working. The reason the match was so great was because of our three teams getting up on the ramp. 888 had fallen over in front of the ramp, one of the teams on our alliance (1629 I think) got up one side, then the other team (1184 I think, although it may have been the other way around) the drove over on the ramp so we could get up that side too. It was great, because it was 1st seed vs. 2nd seed and 2nd seed had won the first of the two matches, so this tied everything up. Everyone was so nervous and all the time had made the anticipation worse.

Best ever? There was one match in 2004, forgive me I don't know which one, where WPI (190) had hung there robot and they were trying to execute the maneuver where they switched the x2 ball from the opposing goal to there goal. It was the end of the match and we (175) grabbed the ball and held it on. Any one who didn't get to see WPI hang in auton in 2004 should see it.

I don't have videos (if anyone knows where there are videos of Chesapeake finals, let me know!)
