What's Wildstang's game-stopping device that Vision alluded to?

Someone on EWCP alluded to it as well; looks like they didn't take it out at this competition...

I suppose I'll be seeing it in person at North Star next week.

Great job 16 for showing people that you don't need a wheel shooter to win.

They attached a bar to their third pick and their bridge device had a hook to hold onto the other robot. I don't know if thats game stopping. And they did four balls in auto. That could be some what game stopping..

i'm not sure if i read this right but is it just like what 1720 did with the other two robots at boilermaker to get the triple?

[its da PAT!!!]

No I don't think the designed it to actually do that, just happen to be a happy accident. But I could be wrong.

Is there video footage of this regional? I cannot find it anywhere.

Thanks!

I'd like to thank teams 71 and 2151 for playing with us. I have to say, both us and Beatty improved drastically during eliminations, and we played very hard.
Seeing 71 on our alliance is normally unheard of, yet we always have a great run when we're together. 2151, thanks for letting us attach to you and for being able to feed us in autonomous, which was crucial.

If there's anyone I'm happy to lose to, it's gotta be Bomb Squad and the Robowranglers. Congratulations to the winning alliance of 16, 148, and 2022.
16 was by far the best team there, and really deserved their undefeated streak at UIC. 148 meshed flawlessly with their strategy, shooting rapid 2 pointers to complement 16's catapult. 2022 was a great 3rd pick, as they were able to balance, and I even saw them score in hybrid.

This was the most fun Midwest regional that I've ever been to, and probably the most exciting (and stacked) finals matches I've seen at the regional level. If anyone didn't watch the webcast or in person, they really missed out.
