Most Exciting Final?

[Dancin103]

This year, Philly was pretty exciting. The finals were 103, 272, 809 (834), VS. 341, 365, 84. I recall the one match score was 114-116. and the 3rd match of the finals was that way too. I was so exciting.

the entire eliminations at palmetto were really exciting! one of the quarterfinals went five matches long! one was a tie, and one was a replay after a scoring error. the finals included two ties and no double digit wins. none of the series' wen only two matches. all of them went at least three matches.

so yeah. palmetto was exciting

One of the final ties we only had two bots and the last match we had no functioning hurdlers! very intense on both sides.

Definately San Diego. Every single final match was so intense, the teams participating in the final matches all had world class robots. I remember packing up and hearing final scores being announced, all over 80. Very impressive regional.

There are some embedded Google videos of all 3 finals matches (official feed) on our website. The audio is delayed ~5 sec (something that happened during Google's encoding). I cut the semis 2 (against 237 816 & 1370) and quarters 3 (against 357 1727 & 709) matches as well and will upload them as well.

EDIT: It looks like TBA already has some video from the stands. I'll try to upload some stuff there too.

Newton's quarter finals number 2
Quarters 2 Match 1 39 20 207 179 1251 1625 102 to 112
Quarters 2 Match 2 207 39 20 179 1251 1625 112 to 100
Quarters 2 Match 3 20 39 207 1251 179 1625 112 to 102

Holy cow. The scores were so high and extremely close. until the scores were announced, nobody knew who actually won.

Are there any other elims that both alliances scored more than 100 on all the two or three matches?

[Kellen Hill]

Oh, and all the penalties in those matches made them even more unpredictable. I think one match our alliance scored 130 but got 3 penalties and ended up losing. I am glad our alliance was the only lower seed to put up a really good fight. Newtons eliminations were awesome to watch and had me going crazy to even think about getting out of qf's. If we had beaten 20, 39, and 207, we would have had to play the 1 seed in sf's and then the 2 seed in finals. Both of those alliances were pretty scary.

The #2 alliance never got to the finals, it was #3 there, with 1574, 141 and 2016.

[Kellen Hill]

Yeah, I know. Those thoughts were occurring during qf's and I wasn't too sure of the 3 seeds chances of taking out the 2 seed.
