That video doesn't even begin to do justice to that match. I've seen a lot of matches in my time, but I think that was by far the most exciting.
When team 314 was flipped onto their back it looked as if all hope was gone for the 639-738-314 alliance. The crowd went berserk once Mowat pushed 314 up and onto the ramp. Then it seemed the hopes were to be short lived, as 314's opponents pushed the upside down robot off the ramp. Then miraculously Mowat managed to help right 314. I can't even explain the reaction when 314 was flipped back over. In just a few seconds the entire match had turned. I stood in the stands in a state of awe.
Bravo to the entire alliance for some quick thinking and skilled driving.
