Agreed.

It was a clean play. All bumper.

Intent should factor in just as much, and it looked to be pretty intentional. It looks like they're pausing to review that match at the moment as well.

The reason everyone is angry is because when 148 started to tip the team pushing them didn't back off, they just kept right on pushing. It wasn't necessarily against the rules but it was bad form....

Don't forget the location. The robot playing defense on 148 can argue that they were attempting to go into the lane.

WHAT AN UPSET IS RIGHT!

That was amazing, well played blue.

[stundt1]

NOO they lost.
148 lost...

[KevinGoneNuts]

Alamo just had the craziest finals matches! Best regional I have seen in a long time!!!

[RayTurner1126]

now that no-call comes up BIG

[Botwoon]

Exciting regional, I'd like to say that I'm not disappointed by the outcome, but....

[stundt1]

This game is very crazy no team can be dominate in it me thinks.

[Peyton Yeung]

148 shouldn't have gone for the triple. A double would have won it. Nice try though

[Chickenonastick]

The commentating during the last seconds of the final match was priceless.

I'm surprised that the manipulator on 148 isn't able to right the bot.

I'm glad the tip wasn't called, the games were a lot more fun when there was a lot of tipping.

I would tend to agree, every robot is subject to flipping (even more so because of these bridges) and it can really turn the match around.
