I am not sure if enough people know this, but 330 fell over at the Los Angeles Regional too. In the finals, this happened in Match 1 and Match 3.

Yes, they were able to get back up back then as well

The incredible amount of boulders scored by 148 and 1678 in QF1-2 on Hopper has to be up there. 24 boulders in the high goal between 2 robots is crazy.

I believe this was the highest un-penalized score at 270?

Yes, that was the highest scoring match without counting foul points(there were no foul points awarded to either side in that match).

One of my favorite moments I had watching our matches was at CVR. We were lining up for a shot in the outer works and a blocker bot was attempting to block our shot. Our robot further extended our arm to the limit of the robot size so that our camera could see the goal to align and take the shot. The audience went nuts when they saw us getting heckled by defense and then casually extend our arm and shoot over them, clearly nobody expected us to be able to do that.

Newton match 100, where 254 pushed a dead robot over the defenses for the capture to win the game by one point.

Finals from SVR this year were pretty crazy, especially with the scoring change in Finals 1.

This is the match where they show the extension off (starts at 1:23).

This Match

Probably the best moment of this year for 2502.
We won the Double DECC er match; Lake Superior and Northern Lights are hosted in the same place and at the end the winners of each face off.

We carried the nice bend in our sponsor banner from 5232 for the rest of the season.

Personally one of my favorite matches are semi 2 match 2 at that MAR Seneca district. The reasons I will always like this match is because team 869 is a tall robot. In this match they were able to go through the portcullis and I just thought it was cool because they needed to use their intake to pick the door up and have it hit the hooks on their climber to slide it up and over the robot. This is also their first competition of the year so it wasnt able to do everything it could towards the end.

Boston finals was an awesome three match set. Red's endgame ended up making the difference in finals 2 and 3. https://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2016mabos_f1m3

The two that stand out for me and FRC Team 1501 are:
1) Perry-Meridian Qual 55. We had just crossed over a defense and were setting up a Auto shot when FRC Team 1024 came over and turned us about 30 degrees. Our turret reacquired the high goal and made the shot.

2) Indiana State Championship Qual 21. FRC Team 71, 4103 and 1501 ALL scaling the tower for the first (and only (as far as I researched)) triple hang. We also got the high score of 169. The very next match we got a high score of 185.

#1 alliance on Hopper (1678, 148, 364) had a few triple hangs.

Yes, but that was a picked alliance. Ours was a computer generated, random alliance during Quals.
But congrats to them.

Newton Finals. I still don't understand how 217 managed to pull out an upset win over a 1241-254 combo.

Or Curie eliminations. Only reverse perfect bracket in history.

team 1712 of the blue alliance had been flipped over in quarter 3 match 3 at the MAR district championship. Not being able to right themselves their robot literally crawled away to avoid getting a penalty for blocking the tower. This is a moment I will probably remember for a while.
