You can't forget the last second ramping on the Einstein up onto 71's ramps. The video gets a good shot of it, but the announcer doesn't really do it justice. Beatty deployed at 10 seconds, 177 and 233 both hopped up with literally 1 or 2 seconds left. The crowd went INSANE.

Other great ones would be Wildstang's unbelievable last-second spoilers in the IRI finals. Like 3 matches in a row, they dropped them on the buzzer, and they almost always decided the match.

Im tooting my own horn here.... 125 driving from mid field to the top of 69's ramps in the final 3 seconds of the finals match 3 of the boston regional (the score was tied before the ramp, and before the other alliances penalty)

video of webcast (doesn't show the ramp, but you can hear andy grady announcing at the end) : http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...ch &plindex=0

video from one of our team members (lower quality, you can see the ramp) :

seconded.


Also, in the curie finals 48 hits 330 in autonomous, whose dead reckoning is supposed to score on the outer leg, they end up scoring on the leg next to it on accident.


hmmm.... The Final match 2 of San diego. Our alliance had been winning by playing defense on our part, offense from 368 and ramping on 1717 at the end. 330/696 lured us to their side of the field towards the end, making us think we were playing defense, and then blocked both aisleways back to prevent us from ramping, which won them the match.

I say the St. Louis Finals. Huh, I wonder why .

I'm glad there's video of this as I never witnessed this match live in person. I was in a daze behind the curtain at the time. I did return in time to see The Match That Never Was, though.

My personal favorite, for obvious reasons, was Buckeye Finals Match 2. This was one of our typically "boring" rack battles, row of 4 vs. row of 3 (this was typical one offensive 2 defensive strategy for the 48, 291, 379 alliance), but 4 robots ramped 12" at the end. Team 379 ramped at the last possible second, in an awkward way - I have no idea how they stayed on top of us. Their ramp under pressure gave both 379 and 48 our first regional victory ever.

*Technically,* the last time we'll ever have to see/play Rack 'N' Roll ever again would be the last match of Ramp Riot, on November 10th.

BUT, that still doesn't mean that you shouldn't come to Brunswick Eruption on November 3rd!

Their spoiler play was awesome - Wildstang's drive team delivered some of the most incredible game-changing plays you'll ever see in a FIRST competition.

The last match of the Boilermaker regional was pretty exciting...it came down to a double robot lift. The crowd should be pretty loud in that one.
