The Eh-Team. Video of Archimedes QF 3-1

[MooreteP]

For those of you who never got to see this once in a lifetime alliance play their game with a dicey triple balance that wins the match, here it is:

The rookies, 4334, the Alberta Tech Alliance, built the perfect partner for Simbotics and OP Robotics. It is the cutest little bot that spends the match frustrating the Blue Alliance by scavenging their balls and spitting them over to 1114 and 2056.

The match was filmed from the opposite side of the field, so it is not easy to appreciate their fine machines, but the triple balance is captured.

The 7th seeded Blue Alliance team of the Cyberknights from Southington CT, 195, The Wired Cats from Atlanta GA, 2415, and Bear Metal from Maple Valley Washington, 2046, were also quite exceptional and pushed them very hard. In fact they outscored them on baskets by 15 points.

195 played very effective defense on 2056, but unfortunately tipped over on the bridge at the end.

86-61, only a 25 point difference without any bridge points.

For the title, I think you meant QF 3-1, last time i checked there were only 2 sets of matches in semis. , and in QF2 the match ended with a double triple, so this is the first Quarterfinal match.

It was an awesome series of matches for sure, the Eh team (I like to call them Team Canada) was dominant, but I think 2415 was a steal of a pic for 195 and 2046, and together they put up a big fight. I remember 3 years ago though, it was the same situation. Team 1002, 2415, and 107 had to face 1114 and 2056 int he quarter finals, and it ended in a similar fashion.

From Here on out, I a member of the FIRST Community, propose FRC Team 1114, and FRC Team 2056, be referred to as, "The EH-Team".

Does anyone Second this proposal?


Disclamer: I am not being rude to 4334, but they we only team mates with these two amazing teams for the division. Teams 1114, and 2056 are almost always together, and have won 10 Regional's together, and now 1 Division.

Haha, tell me about it. We've been on the receiving end of those juggernauts before.

It's Bear Metal btw... but yeah, that was a tough set of matches. We really thought our alliance had the potential to pull off the upset. Had we gone for a triple when they did, we probably could've pulled out the victory in this match. In the second match I was amazed at how fast and clean we tripled, altho it took 2415 a while to lower the bridge. Still though, we had a great time and it was a pleasure to play with and against such great teams.

I think all it would've taken was a double balance at the end of the match to beat them in the first match...

It ended up being a 25 point differential so with the double we still would've lost by 5 points. I believe we were ahead of them before they went to triple tho, so had we done the same we would've won. Instead i think we we were skeptical about their tripling capabilities and it came back to bite us in the end.

yea, it was a 25 point difference, but really close. If this alliance didn't play the "Eh Team" first round, I think a lot of heads would've been turned towards this alliance's power.

I'm sorry, but what is the reason for calling 1114+2056 the "Eh Team"? Am I mispronouncing it?

It's a play on "The A-team". There's that stereotype that Canadians say "Eh" a lot.

Eh as in the Canada stereotype to say "Eh?" , and all 3 robots on the alliance were Canadian.

1114 - St. Catherine's, ON
2056 - Stoney Creek, ON
