2006 Best Robot Match Ever?

[edboy]

Match 50 of the peachtree regional
My team (1261) was blocked on the opposing teams ramps with about 5 seconds left in the match
using our swerve drive we juked the other team, launched off their ramp, went around a robot or two as well as several balls (all of this at about 15-18 ft/s) and launched up our ramp ramming the wall at about 12 ft/s (i'm really surprised the glass didn't break) just as the clock hit zero.
although this was a low scoring match (25-21), we won because we were able to get up on our ramp
here are a few quotes from that match:

That 1261 end-to-end dash was the most impressive move I saw this
weekend.
With mere seconds remaining, 1261 was being pinned on top of the
opposing
alliance's ramp, got away and made an unbelievable mad dash across the
field, somehow not tipping over on the way up his ramp. Anyone remember
what
match number that was? 1002 Circuit Runners

That match was probably one of the most amazing displays of agile
mobility
I have seen in a FIRST competition. We were all convinced that 1261 had
been
hiding their talents up to that point, and finally decided to really
show
their capabilities. And when they did, was it ever impressive! Dave

1261, what an impressive swerve drive, going from one ramp to the other
in a
few seconds while dodging a few robots and balls in your way....it was
just
impressive. Team 1369

Sorry, they didn't tape that match and no one, not even NASA TV or any of the FIRST people can get a tape
