Connecticut eliminations. I wish there was video. Thanks to a strategy change up in SF1-1, we could have tied against the #1 alliance had it not been for bad luck (a twisted cable on 177's robot cancelled a hang and a broken DOGMA counter not caught until a match later. We needed both to get the tie, though). Each quarter and semi-final match was one awesome gain, yet one crushing loss due to a mechanical problem, last second success, last second failure. The chemistry of that alliance and the sheer intensity of the matches and repairs was, in retrospect, really awesome and not something I'm used to. Everything that could go wrong did... I loved it.
