If Im thinking of the same match, I believe their partners actually didn't show up at all. It was 1 vs 3 and they pulled off the win.

Yeah their partners werent there. I went down to see the regional and that was the first match I saw. I was pretty excited about the rest of the tournament after that.

It wasn't a game-changing play, but a human player at Buckeye launched a moon rock half the length of the field right at the buzzer, and managed to land it perfectly on top of the vision target on the opponent's trailer. It was pretty exciting one-in-a-million occurrence.

While this wasn't game changing either, and also during a practice match. Team 2410's robot launched a moon rock onto the top of the vison target aswell. Unfoftunately, this was not ruled as a scored moonrock. The entire crowd was unhappy .

Your drivers should have been unhappy as well. Practice match or not I would have contested this with the Head Ref to assure that this was correctly scored if it happened during Quals or Elims.

SCORED: A GAME PIECE is SCORED when it is fully supported by the TRAILER or other GAME PIECES that have been SCORED.

The Vision Target is a part of the Trailer, so if the ball was fully supported by the target it should have been scored.

I think it was at Midwest or buckeye...One of the human players threw a Moon Rock and it landed on top of the trailer's sensor bars. It was there for a few seconds before it was knocked off due to a collision to the wall...

I remember at the finals at traverse city our alliance and BOB's (85) were there.
we were alwase hoping for BOB to jam so we could win.

but they ended up winning.

Yeah I heard about this, do you know if it was scored at Buckeye?

Little biased, but BAE Finals were awesome.

I think it was Buckeye finals #1 where 2 robots pinned another during autonomous in it's starting position. The human player scored and got a 20 point lead going into teleoperated.

As far as individual moments go (not alliance), one of my favorite moments for us was when in our last qualification match, our robot pinned two enemy robots by itself. We wanted to pin the enemy alliance's best scorer, but a rookie team's robot got in between us and them. We proceeded to push the rookie team's robot into the target robot and pin them both to the wall. We then held them both there for somewhere between 1/5 to 1/3 of the match while our human player filled up the target robot's trailer. We knew we had a lot of pushing power, but just knowing we could do that was a amazing moment for us.

To be honest though, it really wasn't that good a strategy. We could only fill up one of their trailers, and the rookie team's robot didn't have the ability to score so pinning it didn't benefit us. Having two robots between us and the wall also put us in the middle of the field making us a good target for their human players. However, we still were excited when we pulled it off.

I my favorite play is quaters 3 match 2 at BAE when team 20's ROBOT scored a super cell with a secound left (yes i know im biased). Our alliance partner had shot and missed and we just had time to pick it up and shoot before time expired.

Unfortunalty you dont see the shot but you see us pick it up and then it being in the trailer.

I saw the field manager take a cell phone pic of that moon rock on the trailer before taking it down. that was cool!
