Plays of the Year

[AndyB]

Hands down, match of the year was the final match at the Wisconsin regional. Great jobs to Fondy, Charger, and King Tech!

Yeah I have to agree. That was an awesome play. I thought that they were going to go flying off the back due to the speed that they were climbing at!

That was pretty cool too.

I loved team 233 The Pink Team from Archimedes play! They got flipped upside down in autonomous mode and then, because of the 180 degree movement of their arm, they flipped themselves back up by pushing off the ground with their arm, and contunued to score for the rest of the game!!! It was incredible!

What match was it?

As important as 987's placement of a ringer on 71's ramp was, I think it deserves just that title, "The Most Important Play of the Year," for helping the 190, 987, 177 alliance grab the gold. If we make a sports analogy here, how often is the championship-winning play considered the play of the year? The game-winning goal, the buzzer-beating shot, or the last second field goal is always memorable for taking the big prize, but rarely for being the most amazing play of the year.

Personally, I believe the play of the year is reserved for something spectacularly mind-blowing, which is why I would give that title to this. It was so spectacular that FIRST decided that it should only occur once all season. Nice one Wildstang.

Same thing happend to us (935) at the finals in KC. Our partner, 1775 did that same as wild stand and immediately scored the ringer.

personally I loved this play albeit a little biased but I loved our auton mode when the cam was calibrated

Rumor has it that if Wildstang gets a tube stuck on itself it can take it off, but I'm not sure if there's video of that. It was pretty cool to see it take the tube off of 1574 though, they went nuts in front of us! One of their kids said that they didn't know that Wildstang was good enough to do that

My favorite play for us would be at St. Louis during one of the qualification matches. We were going for a row around the top, and an opposing alliance was trying to place their ringer to stop it from connecting. We slipped ours in literally right under theirs to score it before they did.

Play of the year is EASILY that Einstein match where 233 and 179 came racing across the field to get up on the ramp. 233 was hovering around the edge with ~5 seconds left, I thought "no way are they going to make it up in time, they're taking it easy and going slow." Then out of nowhere, 179 comes literally screaming across the field and shoots themselves up to the ramp just in time (as did 233 at almost the exact same time). It was incredible.

My Favorite play this year was in Finals Match #2 at Pacific Northwest when 1087 was trying to get on our platform and our little ramps we had in front had taken a beating and didn't deploy. in trying to get over they tipped them selfs over backwards and then proceeded to right them selfs with their arm and drive forward before they were completely back on their base, they landed perfectly on our platform and we lifted them, winning the match and the elimination rounds

I don't know the match number but the blue alliance had a ring on one of the spider legs facing them. Then, a blue alliance human player threw a ring and it landed on top of the ring that was already there. Next, the red alliance came and put a spoiler on the spider leg that already had two rings on it.
Classy.

In one of our eliminations matches (I think it was the Semi_Finals) there was a tube on our ramp, likely placed there by the opposing alliance. When 1592 drove over to our ramp and saw the tube, they simply picked it up off the ground and climbed for the 30 points.

Personally, I think that the ending of the Boston regional was better than the final 5s of that Championship match (ramping). I am biased, but that's still my opinion.

I believe when our human player (Chris Marra) got the ringer that put our alliance on top of the Uberbots in Newton Final 2 to force the third gets my choice. He misses that ringer and its a different story.

Pete, the tube I threw actually put our point total higher than the Uberbot alliance during the second finals match, ensuring that we would not have to go to a third.
