2006 Best Robot Match Ever?

[NeedMoreEngines]

At Monty Madness I got flipped over onto the ramp. I told (well, yelled) the driver of 1660 to give us a nudge and see if we could flip back over. The driver executed the move perfectly and saved us from certain annihilation. Once again, the mystifying CG of our bot generated some "oooo's" in the stands. However, we got flipped over again in the late seconds of the match and lost by a mere 5 pts. We really thought we were going to win that one.

QF2-1 at the midwest regional. towards the end, 1806 and us were on our backs, and 107 held off all three of the opposing teams, and won it for us

I also like the one when i helped a team get back up when they fell. Monty madness was full of Good plays. I remember anther match when we picked up balls and kept feeding them to a shooter. I cant remember the team though.


Team 1660 best match ever was when we lost our first match against team 25 at monty madness. We had two teams that wasnt able to score. So my team said lets just go out and give it our all. During the match we scored 36 points(we were a dumper) That was a good match. I think it was our way of showing them that we can help the little guys. lol. Through defeat I learned that we were winners becouse we worked together our best. We even compleated the strategy.
This was a pic taken right before the match

My favorite match this year would have to be our qualifying match at GLR against 1114.

We were both undefeated going into the match and 1114 was just running on all cylinders (although that phrase doesn't really apply very well to robots...maybe running on all motor brushes??) and was really a threat.

We loaded up by our human and proceeded by 1114 to our goal, where we were pushed into the corner by 1114. It was right near the end of the match and they backed off and got on the ramp leaving us open for a second... We moved in and after a quick adjustment, proceeded to fill the goal above their head... It was a great feeling because they are such an awesome team with an incredible robot...

Although, they got their revenge in the finals...

I don't have a video, but I have a bunch of pictures that were taken...

AHH! Link them rather than tag em. They put the limit there for a reason.

My favorite match this year was at the Detroit Regional when our partners were 469, and 217 along with us 47 and we score 113 points the highest for that regional and it was a very exciting match all the way to the end, especially when we raced across the field with 7 seconds laeft and got on to the ramp as the buzzer went off for the 10 pt bonus we only had 2 robots on at the end, the score would have been higher if all of us got on but it was the best match for me this year.

Go download them off of SOAP and watch them, they're absolutely crazy.

The newton semifinals had the only match where both alliances scored over 100 pts (sf 2-2 108-115). The 987/1503/1718(?) alliance won the first match, but the 25/968/195 alliance came back in one of the best matches of the year. The 3rd match was hard fought: 25 pinned 987 up on the ramp, and then defense was played until the last period, in which the first balls outside of the autonomous period were scored. Truly an amazing match.

Also, there were many great plays in the final matches of the Newton division.
In f-2, after losing autonomous, the 25/968/195 alliance was able to come back with a final score of 108-49. While 122 was trying to defend 968 from scoring up on the ramp, they both ended up flipping over, however, 25 was able to upright 968, which allowed them to continue to score. Also, 968 and 195 executed the "A-Bomb" during this match. Somehow 176 fell over , and as 111 was scoring, 25 was able to manuever areound both teams and get onto the ramp with 968 in the last two seconds.

I should probably go and download the Archimedes final matches too.
EDIT: Just finished watching the Archimedes finals, that first match was pretty close.
