Nomiante Your Play of the Year!

[opps12]

I must agree with my teammates that quarter final match 3.3 was the most exciting thing i saw all day, how the ball stayed up in the pvc pipes i don't know, but just play WOW

I think the play of the year was at Phillie when team 1495 tipped over and kept right on pushing balls into their human player station. I know there's a video of it somewhere.

My vote for play of the year was in the quarterfinals of BAE. Team 190 got on the bar immediately and pull themselves up with their arm flipping over the top of the bar. With 1:00 left Team 157 grabbed a big ball and tried to cap the stationary goal full of balls(quite full if i reacall), 190 extended their arm and closed their claw and the ball fell out of 157 grasp. 157 pulled away and got another ball and this time 190 pushed on the goal again pushing the ball out of the claw once agian this time holding their so the goal could not be capped. At the last second(2-3 seconds left) The pulled their claw away winnging the match.

That play one the match and the quarter final.
Thats my play of the year.

I think that when we flipped and kept herding balls was cool, but my favorite was in Philly when all four robots hung on the bar at the same time.

DJ-thanks for posting video. That was an awesome match. It seems to me like everyone is posting their own matches. I think it would be cool to have people nominate other's matches, instead of their own.

I personally thought the Midwest Finals match 1 (with a score of 150-210) was very exciting. I watched it on the webcast. I thought for sure they would beat our score of 210.

This was particularly odd- myself and our driver were scouting 1495- they did good until.. bang... flipped over. We started to stand up when their frame moved- thanks to the huge 10'' wheels their robot actually continuted driving around the field, herding balls and such. It was rather amusing, something I've never seen in my 4 years of competition.

Remember when 1495 was pulling one of the teammates in their dolly after alliances were picked, their drive trane is one of the strongest ive ever seen

At one point we were pulling two. Me and Mike, so it was pulling about 350lbs.

Mine would probably have to be during the AZ regional. Team 190 had already gotten on the bar and 234 (us) were trying to get up. Team 190 put their arm down straight into our robot, trying to push us down but we had a monster 24 stroke pneumatic already in the process of trying to pull us up. We just couldn't get ourselves up. But finally after the match had ended their motor stopped and our pneumatic just started to relieve the stress by pulling us up.

That was one of my favorite matches, the match was so close and so tense. I just can't wait to see this type of stuff happening non-stop in Nats.

Well, I was about to drop the ball straight in the goal, but then I thought "Nah, the crowd would like it more if I just let it hang in a couple of those pipes."


Nah, sorry guys....purely accidental

my vote also would go to when 67 capped 1241 at GLR... so that 1241 couldnt collect the balls as they fell
