Alamo 2012

[George Nishimura]

I think they're going to go for the triple again. 118, 488 and 3325 just need to double and be up by 20+, I can see a really close one.

Maybe they'll both go for the triple again!

EDIT: They're going for a third. This will be good.

nooooooooooooooo.......


what happened to xbot? i couldn't see the robot.

[George Nishimura]

Oh my goodness what just happened?

I cannot believe 148 922 and 2836 won that.

[gyroscopeRaptor]

I'm going to go ahead and call that the most exciting set of three games EVER.

[BHS_STopping]

That triple at the end with half of 2936's robot hanging off the end of the ramp while 922 was oriented long-ways was incredible!

[Marc S.]

WOW! All 118 needed was 1 bot on the bridge and they would've won.

Now on to the FINALS!

[Botwoon]

Can't believe the refs didn't call that, that was completely deliberate.

[George Nishimura]

How did 148 tip?

Alamo, full of drama today! If only the livestream didn't freeze <_<

I agree, but you cant blame the blue robot for persisting with his defense... it was a pushing fight and 148 just happened to be rocking too much.

So while it was a bit deliberate, i can see why the refs didn't call it.

[nahstobor]

Great no call. Let them play.

I don't know, from what I saw he stopped while under 148's bumper to decide what to do, then charged forward with the intent of tipping him.

the rules say you cant use a mechanism for tipping robots
looked legal because it looked like it was all bumper on bumper.

[PayneTrain]

Apparently the bandwidth in South Texas can't handle how awesome these games are.

[AndrewMorrison]

To me it looked like 148 was rocked backward, and the defending machine charged into them pushing them until they tipped over.
If the defending machine was not there 148 would have fallen back onto their wheels.
