Best moments of Ultimate Ascent

[Davis Racing]

Best Moment: The finals at the Alamo Regional. Being relatively new to the sport of FRC, some of our mentors were not ready to experience such emotion overflow. I do believe that a few of them, my wife and I included, experienced tear covered eyes.

I would have to second that moment.

Best Matches: Just watching videos, the finals of MSC were insane. 469 was just on fire, so was 68, 2337 was playing super well... I can't imagine what it must have been like to be there, let alone be on the field.

I also think Semifinals 1-1 of Einstien (between 1678's alliance and 469's alliance) was pretty amazing too, triple FCSes and good sweeping action.

I don't know if I'd really put them up for the best robot in the world, but 973's offseason bot 9973 was pretty amazing. They hit 6 cycles basically every match, and really showed what a butterfly drive is capable of. Plus, it's basically the robot that every signal veteran team should have built instead of the one they actually built. It was that dominant, and super simple.

I like finals 1 match 1 better.

Another category- Best Show of Gracious Professionalism: Curie Finals, when both alliances argued a call together, including the alliance benefiting from a ref's call.

Best moment: Having a team show up to the western regional with only one student, and having all the teams there pitch in to help him get ready for the event (including getting a special exemption to have members of another drive team to be coach and human player) He was going home because he thought his team wouldn't be selected for elims, but on the way back, he and his parents turned around to stay at the event anyways. He arrived just in time to get picked by an alliance!

Top Rookie: 4451 was phenomenal this year, making it on the top 25 list! A super fun team to be beside in the Newton pits. They have one wicked cart and pit display!

Though this totally biased, 4476 had a pretty phenomenal year. With a Deans List winner on a rookie team is pretty cool. Also keeping world champs 1241 to one cycle was crazy. We certainly had a fun year, and are looking forward to another great one starting in 9 days

Lets just say that match is rather excruciating for me to watch

Here's a video of Semi Final 1, match 2 at Madtown Throwdown where you can see what 9973 does.

Best match is without a doubt Finals 2 of IRI.
Watching the 67 alliance make a perfect strategy change, then 1114 nearly fall from the pyramid.

It was amazing in every way. The pinnacle of what Ultimate Ascent could be.

Behind that were Archimedes finals- the 469-987 auto battles were awesome. Newton finals were also particularly intense.

And Galileo Semis were awesome.

My best moment was when I heard that 610 won Champs

[Robotmmm]

Best moment: Finals at IRI. Unreal to watch!

Worst: Being so upset at Champs at the initial bad call on Einstein that we got up and left our fantastic seats and started the long drive home, only to find out later that we missed one of the most intense finals ever!
