That was a great strategy guys!
I remember seeing one of the matches where your alliance was trying to pull the plan off in time. It was a nail biter as the Bobcat Robotics robot was riding back to the endzone on two wheels with the blue ball in tow, tipping over and out of the playing field.
Good call by the refs!
Excellent followup matches, too. You guys really nailed it. Seeing those teams together in the nationals will really be a treat.
