Best FRC moments ever

2014 Inland Empire Regional Finals 2 1678, 399, 4161
First perfect cycle. Second perfect cycle, back-to-back. Not sure if it's the only double perfect cycle. Was done after our ball settling mechanism was crippled and repaired back into place with a c-clamp.

2013 MSC Semifinal 2 match 1. 469, 3539, and 217 score 90 points in autonomous period- the highest autonomous score from the entire season if I recall correctly.

469 was simply incredible that season.

This was actually in the video at first but I had to cut it due to time constraints.

This was one of my favorite matches I've participated in:

IRI 2012, Quarterfinal 4, Match 1:
Red - 469 68 125 vs.
Blue - 51 33 1023

A really close match the whole way, Red and Blue trading the lead back and forth the entire match. Coming down to the last 20-30 seconds, both alliances start to setup a triple balance.

As both alliances are executing the triple balance the real time score has blue up by 1. The HP from 125 on red nails a full court shot into the mid basket to put Red up by 1.

Right after both alliances get their triple balances locked in, the blue HP hits a full court shot into the mid basket, now putting blue up by 1.

Only a few seconds after blue drains their full court shot, the red HP hits ANOTHER full court shot into the mid basket to put red up by 1 for good.

The lead changed hands twice essentially without any robots moving.

Unfortunately it doesn't show the scoreboard but you can still see some of the human player shots and how crazy the match must've been from the expressions of the people behind the glass.

This reminds me of a similar situation 2009 IRI 148's (?) HP made 2 full court super cell shots in one match and the crowd just lost it.

I think I recall Paul Copioli's wife also perfectly landing a supercell on TOP of the centerpost of the goal in the mentor matches.

Maybe not "Best Of" worthy, but during the last qual match at Granite State in 2014 131 caught our own trussed ball. Not worth any catch points, and certainly scrubbed the high goal attempt after that, but it got the crowd going pretty loud. Probably not the only of its kind that year, but for a robot not designed to catch and at a Week 1, it was really cool to see.

It's around 1:45-
