Re: Most Exciting Regional.

I would deffinatly go for Davis. I attended SVR and eventhough there was an upset or two, no super thrilling matches. At Davis its shinning moment was the first QF that everyone is talking about. Match number one was the best Ringer bot, the best lift bot, and a great Ringer bot, against a ramp bot, a rookie ringere bot, and a ringer bot that mostly stuck to defence. Ofcourse we (Team #1) went into thinking it would be an easy win. Not a chance: here are my 2 favorite.

Match #1 about 20 seconds in 997 get tipped, you blink and oyu missed it. Then everyone is thinking stratagy: How many ringers do we need to make up for lack of lift?, should we try to box out thier bots from reaching home zone? and before you even knew what happened, team 100 gets a tube on their flag! this means out lift bot is out, and our score bot cant touch a ringer! We had to decide the best action, and went with removing the ringer from 100. This wasn't easy do to defence and correct positioning. with about 30 seconds left in the match we remove the ringer. Now we had to score like crazy and home that their ramp fails. Before 100 scores once, they flip. This was detramental. Our morale was shot, and we felt like we didn't have a chance. We go into the second match with a revised stratagy on avoiding flips, and are holding onto to the last bit of destroyed confidence we had.

Match 3 starts just as the first, great defence by #8 with the rookie team doing what they can to score. Thing were going fine, 3 ringers on each side and both teams trying to get the all important 5er. As team 100 approches the Rack to score a 4th the defender that knoked both over last time start blocking 100. They move tward the Rack and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tipping!!!.................... feew, back down, they approach again and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tipping!!!................ feew, back down. This repeats then finnally the defender focuses on us and 100 can score. it is now a line of 4 for us against a line of 4+a line of 2 for them. both teams go back to their zones for the lift. We skid over to 997, who hit the lift button withh maybe 2 seconds to go, and their pneumatic system is able to finish the lift after the bell. While thier team's electric system falls at they bell and one bot rolls off.

Im youtubing the quater finals as we speak, ill post a link
