Great Matchups That Never Were

[The Lucas]

Ever since I first saw Team 71 Beatty's BEAST in action, I was dying to see it pitted against our three goal grabber MOEhawk. This head-to-head battle of the three goal grabbers seemed likely when we were both put in Newton Division. I could tell by the many visits to our pit, that Team 71 was also curious. This matchup never happened during the Qualification Rounds. This match seemed set for the Newton Semifinal. However, our Quarterfinal Curse showed its ugly head as fuses on the OI and the robot controller malfunctioned before Match 3 in the Quarterfinals. Although it was fixed before the match, it was too late to put the robot on the field. Thank you, Beatty for offering to help with spare fuses. Unfortunately, Our alliance lost the match and all hope of facing the BEAST to the formidable GM Alliance.
There is no telling which bot would win this hypothetic matchup between the BEAST and MOEhawk. I know that MOEhawk is faster, so he would get the goals first, but what would happen after that?
Could the BEAST's arms break MOEhawk's wings while pulling the outer goals into its body? Could the high torque file card shuffle drive of the BEAST push MOEhawk's brakes backward (no one else has, they have only spun us)? Would the carpet rip in half under the force of the pushing match and both bots get DQed?
Does anyone else have a matchup that they would have liked to see but didn't?
Congratulations to Team 71 for becoming the first team to win two consecutive National Championships and three National Championships total. Thank you for including us in one of those Championships. Congratulations to Team 173 RAGE and Team 66 on their National Championships. Congratulations to Team 175 BUZZ on winning the Chairman's Award. I knew you would win. See you at the PA Robot Challenge.
