Re: Most Unfortunate Incedents

In 2007 we faced 1114 and 2056 twice in the finals at both Waterloo and GTR with team 854. In Waterloo we won the first match, but then at the end of the second match 1006 Fast Eddie lost a CIM i think, and got stuck in red's home zone which racked up 30 points in penalties. Because they were damaged the final match didn't go to well and we lost. Afterwards 1114's driver told our driver that we gave him the best defense he had seen, which really made us believe we had a chance.

Then in the GTR finals our team consisted of 854 (again) and 1241. Both robots did excellent but two bad things happened. In the second match 854 dropped their ramp (Loved your robot last year guys) and we drove up it but a ringer got caught on top and we couldn't drive forward enough for 1241 to drive up, so we lost. Then in the last match 2056 hit 854 hard and it damaged their ramp, so when they went to deploy it...well it just didn't deploy right away and time ran out.

At first i was very frustrated with the results of both regionals but hey we were still finalist and that was the year we finally won Chairmans at waterloo.
