Palmetto Regional 2007, QF1-2. 1251/1626/1758 vs. 1618/1102/801. The former had stomped the latter in the first match to the tune of 264-0. (And, in the final qualification match, 1251/804/1436 had done the same thing to a lesser extent to 1618/1293/34 to the tune of 140-0.)
We just now made the brilliant realization that our opponents lacked a ramp on their alliance. We came up with a new plan: 1102 and 801 would get one tube each on the rack, then all three of us would give the fiercest defense we could supply. Throw in the ramp points, and we'd have to hope that they couldn't get a row of six.
Somehow, nobody on our team noticed that our tower, which contained our electronics, came loose in the back. (Come to think of it, we're
still fighting that issue at demos.) The result can be seen in
this video, ending where our main battery cable pulled out of the distribution block. We lost the second round 48-19, making me think we might've pulled it off if that wire had held. Unfortunate, but it led us to step our wiring game up for 2008.
