Best Play in Off-Season

There were two others that we were in that for me were pretty memorable:

One round we went out with 136, who was having major communication difficulties, and they had to get pulled right before the match. I was talking with some people from 19 (who eventually picked us as a partner) and saying "you should check us out, but we'll probably lose this round as it's 2 on 1". Not 5 seconds later, in autonomous, we come tearing off the line and push the mobile goal into an oncoming 1302 bot, which tips over, evening the playfield. I then turn and say "okay, maybe not". We ended up hanging and winning that round, which was cool for us.

Another tipping story: we were going up for the bar, and an opposing alliance member was going up the other side. We hang by a cable, and go up from the 6" platform, so we swing a bit once we clear the step to the top. The 2x ball was still on the center platform, so when we went up, we tarzan'd into the ball, kicking it into the other team and they toppled.

That second match you were referring to happened to against my team 11. Since I was behind the mike I couldn't show that much emotion, but It was a tough break for us, and you guys played very well.
