Best Moments of Aerial Assist

Archimedes Qual 109 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QwqgNls44E
We approached 33 and 1671 about a particular strategy we thought all our bots could really play well, and they accepted it with a few contingency plans in case it didn't work. The first 2 cycles we are getting a feel for it, but by the 3rd cycle we were all on our game and it made for awesome 3 assist cycles!

Amazing - our team pursued the exact same strategy in the Curie eliminations. One of the other pit crew was explaining it to me and I'm sure I gave him a "You're going to WHAT?" look... but darn if it didn't work. You can almost picture the defense pausing and saying "What the heck did they just do?"

Galileo Q36 had one of the most epic finishes I'd seen all year. Down 5 points with time quickly winding down, 67 frantically got the ball on the inbound and, with heavy defense from multiple robots pushing them away from the truss, pulled the trigger on a hail mary truss shot as the buzzer sounded. It hit the top of the truss and then bounced over securing them a 5 point victory. It was pretty awesome.

Check out the 2:30 mark of the video to see for yourself.

We didn't think it was so awesome Obviously it worked out in the end for us though!

oh come on, guys! admit it, when it happened, a little part of you went "ok, I know we just lost, but that was a pretty awesome way to lose."

It was definitely a nail biter.

Don't get me wrong, we completely understand where you're coming from. We had a very similar 4 point loss in Q110 that was decided in the final few seconds. Still, fun as hell to be a part of though. lol

Definitely. It was one of our most exciting matches through the season. Although I think our second semi final match at Chesapeake against 233 was even more of a nail biter.
