Thanks 968 and 294 and last match LA
Thanks to 968 for picking us for finals even though we had poor performance earlier in the day. Also, we couldn't have done it without those wheels you gave us. Also thanks for helping make our battery stay in.
Thanks to 294 for putting up a strong fight. I honesly don't think anyone else could have done any better in our alliance. Your robot held up very well and you did not let us down. And for the last match at LA: Anyone who saw it can assure you that it was the best match of the year hands down. The refs spent 20 minutes debating over the score. Seriously. There were like 50 people around the field and admin table. Kingman couldn't get their feet up, we lost power and got it back to push our opponent off the ramp in the last 1.5 seconds, and our partners wheel was barely touching a part of the ramp that had been bent up! It was so exciting. You really had to see it. I cannot describe this match in words. |

I swear, it was like a dejavu of the end of the Chatsworth competition, even the touching part.

As for that not so "controversial" match in LA.
Here are some good pics to show the ramp in its un-seated position. From what i can tell, team 60 had a good grab on that mesh and pulled it upward somehow, possibly from all the robots smashing into it. Now that i look at it i am not sure if they tried to raise those arms or not, it doesnt look like they could have. It looks stuck. You can also see that 294's robot is touching, and would not be if they ramp was fully seated. Great match guys!! BTW. click on the image for a full size (huge) picture. ![]() Last edited by Travis Covington : 16-04-2003 at 16:17. |

That match at LA was both wonderful and terrible at the same time. you're right, you would have had to be there to get the full affect. I almost died from the suspense.
(my team was sitting right behind Kingman too...oh the agony!) But our alliance's robots put up a stupendous fight.< i guess those long .. late.. hours at our practice field did a robot good huh ... 696? Even though your robot tried to eat me one night > we had a lot of fun. I hope you all do as well if not better next year!! ![]() |
