Wow, that's balanced really well... I never saw a match end like that at any of the regionals I went to. Great job, guys.

Holy Crap! seriously if that was my team on the ramp i think i would be hiding behind one of the seats. I cant believe that it held up!

Everyone who got on our ramps thought the exact same thing lol. But do not fear... If a robot fell off it, I would be hiding myself haha... but I don't have to worry about that =] That's my baby right there... and I wouldn't let my baby hurt anyone else's =]

Maybe you guys will get to test it in an offseason =)

Btw... in case anyone is wondering how we lift the ramps...

1) We come back to the home zone
2) We shift into neutral off the black box on the control board
3) Robot[s] get onto the 'ramps'
4) Yes, we do lift off the drive train

Many people find that amazing... I think it's something pretty awesome as well

Correction: it was good enough for a 30 point bonus Brandon

Y'know, I could have sworn it was ruled a 15-point bonus, and I still can't imagine how that's higher than 12 inches. However, I now see that both matches that 102 and 1649 played together had even numbers for the score, meaning that it couldn't have been a 15, so you must be right. I guess after watching and scoring 118 matches in two days, it all kind of starts to run together.
