Newton Match 100

[Joe Johnson]

Quals 100 on Newton. Amazing!

5885 1519 254 vs. 118 122 4122

1519, 254 and 118 are all battling to stay in the hunt for one of the top seeds.

5885 was dead for the match.

1519 and 254 should have the match in hand. 118 is good but 122 and 4122 just didn't have the fire power to keep up... ...or so you would think.

Poofs decide they need to get 5885 onto the batter.

They manage to push the 5885 over the mote and onto the batter, but those pesky PC shields on the batter (why do we even have those things?) gives them some trouble, 5885 is not fully on. After some, lets just say, "vigorous" pushing, 5885 ends up fully on the batter. 1519 and the part of Poofs that wasn't devoted to pushing 5885 weakened the tower. All 3 get on the batter as time runs out for the challenge!

Final score 140 to 139. Just one point. And what a difference that one one point made.

254 jumps to 3rd Rank on Newton just 3 RPs behind Theory6 and and 2 RPs behind H.O.T. (Mechanical Mayhem jumped to 5. Robonauts 13th 6 points behind the leader with only 2 matches to go).

That was a match for the ages.
