Great plays, and other amazing things this week!

Maybe we should stop picking on 166...

I unfortunately didn't see any finals, but they sound intense.

Best moment of any regional yet? Any with 148.
Moment that I liked the best? Seeing 2016's light-up board. I tried to persuade my team to add one but they didn't.

Team 1647 vs Team 2016 minibot deployment race. It was so close, the judges called the winner incorrectly. Not like it would've mattered, we were so far behind in points.

teams scoring multiple logos, multi ubertube scores, crazy deployment races, etc...

The team bareling backwards was at FLR, an insane thing. It shot forward, then just ran back. Just crazy.

The FLR finals match, first round was ridiculous. For the first half of the match, the Blue Alliance, 340, 3157 and 1126, were behind in tube scoring. However, as the minibot time rolled around, the Red alliance (number 1 seed), with 2056 and 217, as as well as 1518 (they have two sub 2 second minibots) failed to deploy fast enough, so they got second and third in the minibot race. The final score was 62-62, but in the case of a tie, the winner of the minibot race gets an extra point.


However, 217+2056 really was an Einstein level alliance. We had the pleasure of setting the first <100 score in the country, early on Friday, with 2056, us playing defense. They have a completely insane robot, and when paired with 217, they were able to consistinly score more than three logos.

I had no idea about the extra point. i just looked up the score: 62:63 Blue. Crazy matches they were!

And I saw that match you guys played! that was some good defense, and some good play by all. I really enjoyed watching FLR this year. Great regional!
