Boston SF1 Match 2

Any others comparable? (match where spoiler was used to turn around the match score)

At the Waterloo regional Q2-4. They did video replay to get the score right.

For those of us who weren't there, would you care to elaborate on what happened in these matches. Spoilers weren't really used at the NASA/VCU or Chesapeake Regional and I'm interested in hearing how they were effectively used.

Not one, but two spoilers on the red row of 6.

Thanks! That was a pretty amazing match. Spoilers, when used properly, really can change the outcome of a game.

Team 888 put a spoiler on in the first elimination match at cheasapeake. Then spike took it off (o well they could have put 2 more tubes on in the time it took them to get it off )

Unquestionably the spoiler placed by 236 in UTC QF 2-3

Unfortunately the camera was focusing on bots climbing ramps rather than 236's amazing spoiler

Was it just me or were ramp not a factor in the Boston Elims? I have to admit, he finals were the best series of games I've seen this year.

ramps were not as vital in the finals in boston because of the types of teams playing....i loved the fact that ramps were a little scaled back...it made for some incredible "tubage"

I agree with one notable exception.

Was it MA Finals #3 where Team 125 gets on top of 69... With about 4 seconds left they floor it perfectly onto the ramp. If they hadn't (and red hadn't gotten a 10pt penalty) the match would have been tied and gone to a #4. Very exciting finish.

(unfortunatly the soap movie doesn't show the ramping, but I do have footage from my digi-cam...will upload next week)

I sooooo take credit for that one That was probably the best set of matches I have ever taken part in. Both wins for us in the semi-finals were attributed to our strategic use of the spoiler. Not only did we spoil their row with 2 spoilers, we also managed to complete our row of 6 in the remaining time.

That was a nice match! very good job on blue for spoiling, I noticed at first they had the spoiler in the wrong place, but they fixed it, and just moving the spoiler over one spot cost red the game.
