Best Matches/Moments of 2016

A few personal favorites:

The First 70 Point Auto

This match ended up being the World High Score for about a half hour, so that's cool too.

Semi Final 2-1 of NEDCMP

I really wish that the few things that went wrong in this match- didn't. The strategy that 125-195-2168 attempted to run was really fun to come up with, and extremely orchestrated. We wanted to put every single boulder on the field in our opponent's courtyard in an attempt to starve boulders. This meant 125 and 2168 attempting to funnel every ball to 195, and keeping our opponent boulder-limited. Unfortunately- the amount of boulders on the ground led to both 195 and 2168 getting stuck on top of boulders and 125 ended up on our backs. I wish this strategy was able to play out the entire match- ABomb 2.0 would have been interesting....

IRI Semi Final 2-1 and Semi Final 2-2

I was hanging out with 195 for the weekend at IRI. The entire eliminations bracket was a fun ride- but watching these matches was so awesome. If only the alliance could have operated at this efficiency during finals... a few tragic mishaps along with incredible defense led to 2 unfortunate losses.

254 pushing their dead alliance partner across a defense and to the batter to win by 1 point

Literally incredible to watch from field side.
