From what I saw, it was 2024 pushing hard into the side of 233 that caused 233 to pop up, and then 2024 continued to push against the bottom of 233 until they were over. I definitely don't enjoy watching matches won by virtue of the other alliance's members being out of commission. This reminds me of the Davis regional last year when a team managed to flip 100 and 997 in a single match just by pushing them from the side, popping their base up, and continuing to push until they flipped. I know the days of wedgebots are over but that doesn't mean its impossible to flip an opponent if you want to.

Congrats 233, 254, and 2454.

Congradulations teams 233 254 & 2454!

[Bharat Nain]

A huge congratulations to 254, 233 and 2454. Very well played and definitely deserved.

Another huge congratulations to our finalist and top hawaiian teams - 359 368 and 2437. I know both 359 and 368 are well-established hawaiian teams who work hard in their region.

Ugg I'm too lazy to retype what other people said. lol Congrats to those listed above.

[Pjohn1959]

Congrats to teams 233, 254 and 2454. That was the most physical semi finals that I have seen this year, and no penalties???? Great job 254, keeping the alliance in the match after 233 got knocked over twice.

[Winged Wonder]

the webcast is down again... do they just not show awards? i like watching the awards ceremonies.

[ShaneP]

Yep, congratulations to 233, 254, and 2454.

233 and 254 have beautiful machines - I'll have to stop by in Atlanta and check out pink's pretty machining (or breath take would be the proper word).

I really wanted to watch the awards. I just got back from a family thing and I wanted to see the awards ;(
