2006 SBPLI Long Island Regional

[Spindash54]

Hey everyone. 1468 here to clear up what happened in the finals.

By Match 3 it was tied up 1-1 each. That round ended in a tie wich led to Match 4.

When Match 4 began the Blue Alliance dumped 10 balls in the goal and the Red Alliance shot 2 balls in the upper goal. However, even though Blue won autonomous, the computer gave the Auto. win to Red. Because of that, it went to Match 5, which Blue lost.

On a side note, during Match 4 Hauppauge's robot went through the lower goal. Unfortunatley, we didn't realize about calling it until after we called the autonomous error and started Match 5. If we called the lower goal immediatley, we could've DQ'ed the entire Red Alliance and won.

And on another side note, if anyone noticed, during the semi-finals, we switched our human player. I was the original human player, but right before Match 2 of the semi-finals, I sprained my back loading 329's robot with balls, and had to subtittute with one of our mechanics. Not that I'm complaining, but he threw with the light off, which may be one reason why we tied in Match 3 of the finals.

To all teams going to Georgia, good luck, god speed, and have fun representing Long Island.
