As we were cued up, one of our allliance partners told us they wouldn't make it so I changed our strategy from a balance of defence and offence to 100% offence in hopes of getting enough tubes on to counter your inevitable 60 point ramp. Right before the game started, our alliance partner arrived and announced that thier robot would work fine. We still went with the offence strategy but it was a CLOSE game. we got a row of 5 whereas you got a row of 4 and a couple singletons. Halfway through the match, one of our trannies failed and we could hardly move so our driver somehow crawled our way around the feild and tried to get up our partner's ramp. We couldn't. Our other alliance partner cam and bumped us real hard and we only got the 15 extra points whereas our opponents got 30. We won that match 51-50.Good game guys, it was amazing.  |
That alliance partner that ended up working was 115
. I was scouting in the stands and had no info on the situation, so when that manipulator opened up, the whole team roared with excitement. Bumping you guys up and scoring 4 ringers made that match the highlight of that day for us. The only better match for us was the one where we faced 100 on Saturday morning.
By the way, we also had a column of 2 to go with that row, and it really did matter with that match being won by only 1 point.
Just another example of the awesome competition that was on display at this regional, very exciting, very action packed, and definitely a lot of fun for everybody.
And finally, congrats to 1359 on the awards, especially on the Chairman's Award.
