Re: Those Tense Moments

In the Florida Regional Final Match 3 [both alliances had 1 victory], both the red alliance [1251, 1270, 86] and the blue alliance [1902, 179, 386] had 5 ringers each, and both had 1 robot up on the ramp. But 86's ramp [for the red alliance] did not deploy the entire way and 1251 could not get up on it; at the same time, team 386 went onto team 179's ramp after 1902 - and proceeded to bump them off slightly into a ringer that was lying against the back wall, then not be able to get up themselves. It was a reallllly tense wait to find out who the regional winner was, as neither alliance knew the details of what had happened in those last 25 seconds to the other alliance; turned out to be the red alliance [1251, 1270, 86] winning 62-32. It was an amazing regional to watch and take part in.
