Somebody on RAGE said that Semi-final match one was good... but what about match two?
173, 71 vs 60, 64
60 and my team rushed out and pushed two of the goals into our scoring position. Once we saw 60 grab on, we 'swerved' back to the other goal and also pushed it into scoring position. At that point, 71 was on the ground and about to give us trouble. Our human players however tamed the beast by throwing a ball in between it and the goals. This kept them out of the action, and let the match come down to my team vs 173 for the match.
Proving that maneuverability can be more effective than power, we kept 173 pinned between the outside wall and 71 as it tried to put one of the goals into its scoring position. As we moved from side to side like a crab keeping 173 from doing anything, the timer approached the 15 second mark and everyone saw a clean victory... that was until for some reason both our robot and team 60s robot got shut off. 71 still couldn't do anything, but 173 was able to push by our shut off robot and put a goal into scoring position.
They ended up winning, but I love the match none the less. It was very exciting, and I am happy that we at least had them beat until a mysterious technical difficulty
