Actually, it was the finals match because it was the only time we were ever on the red alliance.

finals were the only time we weren't on the red alliance.

Someone messed up the whole "highest seeded alliance is red" thing.

254 has had a little bit of red on at least one of their robots in the past, but the black was still there. Their 2004 robot:

Nope, it's never been "higher seed red" past the QF. The red/blue carries with the bracket (winner of the 1/8 match-up is red in SF, winner of 4/5 is blue. Winner of that SF becomes red in the finals).

As for the 254 colors, they had a little red in 2004, less in 2005, none in 2006, and a lighter blue in 2007.

Now that I think about it, it does. If we team up with them in ATL... (Not that that'll happen again.)

Once we had both ramps working and on at the same time (Saturday morning) we started having robots come up. I remember at least two times where a situation appeared like the one seen here: 4 on top on our left ramp and 254 over 4" on the right one. The blue platforms aren't painted--they're corrugated plastic that came blue. The metal parts--ramps and frames for the platforms--were spray-painted the night before ship day. What's really cool is when we have the ramps up and you can see a huge version of our team "logo" in yellow on the platforms--it's on the underside here.

Team 1717, 188, 1722 were blue in the semi's which means that 330, 254, 4 were red.

I mean exactly what I said. Poof robots used to be red and blue.

LA Final Matches. Enjoy!

[waialua359]

see you next to our pit in vegas.........like old times

[jackie Ha]

I remember that match. It was a good one, and yes, the only time you were not on the red alliance was when you guys were in the final matches because I remember thinking, "wow, that is a lot of blue". Congrats on the win. Good luck to 254 and 4 in Vegas, and we'll see 330 at San Diego.

I wasn't disagreeing about the Poofs having a red and blue robot in past years. I was saying (tongue-in-cheek) that the red is now on their collaboration partner's robot, RAWC Team 968.

Haha, I just noticed. I'm in that picture.
