Who has successfully THROWN ringers on to the rack yet?

[mizscience]

Our alliance partner 86's human player, Mark, managed to get 2 on [during different matches] during the finals rounds at the Florida Regional this weekend. It was awesome seeing it happen in real time, and later on video.

Does anyone want to organize a drive team skillz challenge .

[Nawaid Ladak]

i want a ring toss.

lets say at championship, on Saturday during lunch or something, on one of the practice fields. that would be so much fun.

qualifications on all the fields, or we could just do it by team in real game play.

RING TOSS 2007 I VOTE YES

Human Player Skillz Challenge 07: Be there or get tossed

I don't know if we'll need qualification considering i don't think too many people would do it. Maybe we could have it in an around the world type format, winner gets a golden inner tube.

Down in the Bayou, Kevin Durkin, a member of Team 357 sucessfully threw a ringer!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Kevin!

[Steve W]

Dylan our human player threw a few on during qualifying but hit 2 in the same game during elims.

Someone threw a spoiler on as well, but it landed on an empty spider leg!

It was our human player who scored the ringer at St. Louis, in our first quarterfinal match. I was very surprised when the announcer came up to "interview" our human player.

a tetra?!?!
a ringer would be more like it me thinks
watching the webcasts, I've seen many a tube fall through the rack to their final resting place at the bottom

At GLR there was someone who could throw tubes on almost consistently. I dont remember who it was tho >_>

[The Lucas]

At FLR, I saw a human player throw a tube that knocked a tube out of the gripper of an opposing robot. How is that for a "spoiler". Anyone else see that happen during a match?

If by "consistently" you mean more than a single fluke, I might agree. But seeing all matches - practice, qualifications, and eliminations - I could probably count all the thrown ringers scored without removing my shoes and socks. I don't think they were all done by the same person.

At the Wisconsin regional one of our alliance partner's HP was able to score in the final 5 seconds! Unfortunately, he scored on top of one of our tubes, oh well at least it looked good.

sounds like pretty much all of the practice rounds at LA

I saw A LOT at pittsburgh during the practices, but as HP, I never tried during the matches that counted, because if you ring the light, it's a DQ. I think.

[Rich Ross]

At GLR in the eliminations, a human player tossed a ring as a last effort towards the end of the match, Scored on the TOP Row, AND COMPLETED A ROW OF THREE VERTICALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went nuts, as did the whole arena. Unfortunately, that alliance lost the match.

SOmetimes, your best isnt good enough....
