If we ignore the fact that in 2011 year we got second in 2 regionals where we lost to the winning alliance by less than 5 pts, and in both cases a mini-bot decided it didn't want to work, I would have to say this match. During autonomous the uber-tube opened our pneumatic valve, so we had no pressure, and we were eventually able to put the tube we had onto the rack, but that was basically it the whole match. If it hadn't been for that mistake, we probably would have ranked second instead of third. Oh well.

That is because the 1126/1551 combination is cursed in qualifying matches, for reasons none can fathom.

Our worst year yet was this year--we had a robot that performed at home, and was an absolute catastrophe on the field. We somehow got picked to go into the tournament and had our two best games in the quarterfinals...as soon as it was all over, our bot was working as we designed it to work. :/
