A tribute to the "A-Bomb"

Overall, they probably transferred six or seven balls, which represented some serious scoring potential given the deadly accuracy of the 968 bot from the top of the ramp.

From what I recall, the webcast camera showed this fairly well.

They did it more than just that one time. That A-Bomb was shown, but there was a better one in finals match two. The camera is focussing on 217 loading, but you can hear Dave saying "watch the cooperation, 195 feeding their teammate!". It's at about 100 seconds left in the match.

It first happened in the semis on Newton, also, iirc. Maybe it was the finals. Not sure.
