Best Matches of 2002

[JVN]

MERGED IN FROM NEWER THREAD

Hey Guys,
I was just talking the other day with my roommate, and we were discussing some of the exciting matchups we saw from the 2002 season. I'm just wondering what everyone's favorite/most interesting/most exciting match they saw in 2002 is.

What cool ones did you see on video or in person?

Please, please, please don't post about YOUR team's matches. It takes some of the fun out of it.

One of my favorite ones was between Beatty and Hotbot/TruckTown at nationals. I've only seen the video tape of it but I'll never forget the first time I saw it.

Hotbot came off the line and beat Beatty to the goals and I thought for sure they would win the match with balls. Then I noticed that Beatty had accidently snagged them with their gripper. The image of Beatty retracting their arm and just dragging Hotbot across the floor is still burned into my head.

So basically, Beatty had 2 goals, and a pet-hotbot. Then Trucktown comes over with another goal and tries to spin Beatty (unsuccesfully). In the end, Beatty just marched on down the field with 3 goals, and 2 robots attached to them.

I got to see both Hotbot and TruckTown in Cleveland, and they were both really impressive bots. That's what makes this match that much more amazing in my mind.

That's what I call incredible.


Now everyone tell me... What's YOUR favorite?
