Best examples of a match where robots work together against defense.

[David8696]

We (2485) worked extremely well throughout eliminations at both San Diego and Las Vegas with 987. I'd point you specifically to the final match at NVLV, in which our shooter broke (as you can see in autonomous) and we had to play as essentially an assisting and blocking robot when we had been acting as the final shooter throughout elims. 987 picked up the ball (no pun intended) flawlessly, navigating around incredibly tough defense and at throwing an inbound halfway across the court over two opposing robots with 10 seconds left, then navigating more defense and scoring to clinch the match.

EDIT: I'd like to add a shout-out to 2478; without their brilliant inbounding, we'd never have had the level of success we did in elims.

One of my favorite matches so far was Semifinal 1 - 2 at the Lone Star Regional. 3847, 4587, and 2881 worked great together, alternating from offense to defense and all around playing the game well to take one match off of the number one seed of 148, 118, and 2585. I believe there was one regular foul, but regardless it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the match. The last second truss also helped Both alliances were great to watch.

To be honest, the opposing alliances hadn't yet worked out effective defensive strategies in Week 1. I think the link to SVR is a much better example.

Here is a good example, in my opinion (though biased...) of an alliance working through heavy defense and incorporating all three alliance members. Both 16 and us (447) saw double teams while either attempting to score or truss and was able to successfully push through the defense. On the similar thought to Chris' we would also go into defense mode once we no longer had the ball. By either getting between the ball and robot or forcing an opponent out of position.

1629, 2363, 623, all played really well together at the Chesapeake Regional. Each team complimented each other very well. When one was being defended the other picked up the assists or scoring or defense. It was really fun to watch. You can find all the match videos on Triple Helix's YouTube channel.

Here's part of a match where we managed to do a 60-point cycle, under a bit of defense on the final pass. It looks like we cooperated pretty well in that match (as well as in many others, by the way!)

Match 68 on Archimedes was a really consistent cycle with 2056 inbounding the ball and shooting over the truss to the human player. 329 would get the ball from the human player and use their catapult to give it back to the human player who would give it to 399 which put it in the low goal.

Qual 109 on Archimedes was really fun to be a part of.

33 would inbound and truss to the HP.
1671 immediately received and shot the ball across the white zone.
And 1625 did a quick 10 point shot from the red alliance line.

310 points no penalties.

Sigh... And this is why we had the worst schedule in the division.

we have one match were we played extremely well together but the defense wasn't 100% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTk7i2bDagk

1507 using your third robot to line up is one of the best strategies I've seen yet. I have to say that was a killer alliance.
