I totally agree! That match was JUST INCREDIBLE!!

Today during the state championships, we had an amazing last match. We lost connection about half a minute into teleop (we think that the roborio lost power and had to reboot.) After we connected, there were about 30 seconds left. Our driver was able to finish the defense he was trying to cross when we lost connection, finish another defense AND make it to the batter for a capture with about 1-2 seconds remaining. It was really amazing.

As one of your alliance partners for that match it really felt like it was a swing of a 0 to 4 RP when you guys came back alive. You guys did fantastic.

I thought Carson Qualification Match 42 was a dramatic match.

Things did not look good at the start of this one. With 25 seconds left in the match, I would never have predicted this outcome.

The overall match was okay, but what made it amazing was the very end. With 6 seconds left in the match, 1761 was still in the neutral zone, but with some skilled driving, they managed to get off of the rock wall and coast onto the batter in the last 2 seconds. Here's the link.

Number of goals scored in auto and first 110 seconds of teleop: 5
Number of goals scored in final 25 seconds of teleop: 5

Definitely a rough first portion of the match, but that alliance is the type that makes scoring 5 balls in 25 seconds feasible!

... for the win, too!

North Bay Regional Qualification Match 10. I wish someone had video of this one because I can't figure out how an alliance that never once moved managed to rack up 20 points in fouls.

Don't forget the human player fouls. I'd bet that a ref had a chance to look behind the castle wall and saw 4 extra boulders back there and nobody trying to return 'em. Early matches in early-season events had an awful lot of HPs who hadn't figured out that "Oh, we need to return these things if there are too many, we need to keep an eye on that!" (Even later-season events had some...)
