Best Matches of 2002

[Chris]

Well I'm not going to Limit it to just one here are a few great ones in my mind. In no particular order

1. 45 tipping over truck town at the Buckeye regional, Truck town had the goal and 45 started pulling, and T3 got turned sideways, and then got dragged right over.


2. The 237,173,155 alliance vs 190,121,311 at Battlecry. It was a great ball bot battle, with 173 eventually getting knocked over and pushed into the other endzone. This match was great because it went right down to the wire.

3. The National Finals were great with 311,308,180 Vs 173,71,66.
180 handed 71 probably the soundest beating they got all year, But 173 and 66 came back to win it in the third match.

4. The Match in the Finals of Long Island where 173 Dragged 56 and two goals Sideways across the field. This was the first regional i witnessed, and i was amazed at the power of 173 for a ball bot.

5. The Utc Finals were intriging espcially since the Alliance of three ball bots Won 121, 69, 103. A lot of people doubted when this alliance was picked, but they certainly proved everybody wrong in a big way.

6. The False start that involved team 60 where the clock was at like 1:56 when the crew killed all the bots and 60 already had the goals

Those stick out most in my mind.
