To everyone else watch the final match of the competition. It was defiantly epic.

Sorry to the poor guy from 234 that sank the winning shot for the other team.

This is the only mistake I have seen him make. His shooting percentage has to be in the high 80's if not 90's.

234 still has the "big one" to go after in ATL, trust me, they'll be a contender.

I agree. Word of advice for teams competing against 234, stay far away from their human player.

thrown acrossed the map and made it!




...into his own trailer...

Though I doubt anyone saw it/was paying attention, our human player during one of the practice matches at Cass Tech took a running start, threw a Super-Cell from the fueling station, had it bounce once, and land in a trailer in the starting position on the other side.

Needless to say, we cheered. XD

We had a similar thing happen at Michigan State seeding matches, except we were on the receiving end. It was either match 3 or 4 and the scores were pretty close. I don't remember if the opposing team threw the super cell or just rolled it out but it didn't go in. Then 217s bot grabbed the super cell, moved in behind us and scored the super cell along with about 4 additional moon rocks into our trailer. Needless to say we had no similar maneuver and lost by about thirty points. Totally epic though.

I've seen the Thunderchickens do that maneuver before. Their payload specialist at the refueling station will roll the super cell out out of air lock and the mad clucking machine will swing by and pick it up on the fly. Then they have a great record of finding a trailer and making the super cell count

In one of the semifinal matches at the Silicon Valley Regional, it was coming down to the final few seconds and the opponent human player threw a super cell towards a trailer. The super cell landed just short of the trailer but right in the path of 971, who scooped it up and scored it in the trailer right as the buzzer rang. We won that match with a score of 121-10.

The best shot that I saw hands down was with the Bobcat Robotics (177) while we were paired with them in the Newton semifinals. Their human player made the shot at the buzzer, and the trailer was touching the opposing player station. The supercell bounced of a robot, the ground and then went in the trailer.

We have actually had a lot of team discussion on "that match" and "that shot".

Bottom line is the red alliance won the match and the regional 2 -1. Blue alliance got outscored in 2m:15s of play, not in the last 2 seconds.

Our HP took the shot because the match was very close, and we could not take the risk on the real time scoring accuracy. That is part of the excitement of competition.

And, we have already said, in the same situation again, take that shot. We have a lot of faith and confidence in his judgement and his ability.

I have an EPIC FAIL supercell shot.

One that came in the last 2 seconds, immidiatly after the only empty cell in the thrower's vacinty has been thrown by him.

Watch at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9EQxtRJgE0 from 2:07

Final score was 66:65 to the Red alliance that got scored by the super cell.

Wasn't "epic" so much as slightly comical. One of the last matches (don't recall which) at DC one alliance tossed a SC and it missed. Then it just rolls right in to the refueling station of the opposing alliance. The HP there did not even notice it for a few seconds. He finally picked it up w/ about 2 seconds to spare and tossed it over the top and in.

We also had one match (in eliminations) at Chesapeake with 3 (yes three) SC's scored by one side in a match.

The SC's sure did flip many a score at the last second.

Match 42 at the LA Regional had a pretty cool supercell shot.

In the last second a shooter on our alliance shot a supercell and made it in AT the buzzer. We didn't win....but it was pretty neat.
