Best FRC moments ever

Hey CD,
I'm looking to start a video project involving FRC history. I know I've made a thread about this a few years ago but I'm looking for a more updated list and hopefully more videos. I'm looking for the best moments in FRC to ever be caught on video. Basically, anything that made the crowd go insane or something that everyone there will remember. Some examples are 330's flips on Einstein 2016, 254 and 1114's chess match on Einstein 2014, the 987 vs 118 can battle in 2015, or even something like 190 leaping over 237 at River Rage in 2004. Whether it be a regional/championship winning moment or a small offseason Quals match, I would love if you could link to videos of the best moments in FRC history.

Dean getting nailed in the head by a soccer ball.

That 8th seeded alliance in 2014 that won by strategy with an unstoppable scoring cycle.

Re: Best FRC moments ever

Carson QF4 and 8 2015

Especially QF4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maEnW8d29ps

EDIT:

Sorry I completely did not mean to be offensive in that way.

I have the up-most respect for 254,973,999 and 4499 and I did not intend to say what I said in a malicious way. For me as an individual who is a fan of 254 and 973 those two matches signify the unfortunate events that can lead to the downfall of a fantastic alliance that would have dominated Einstein. I see those matches as being memorable for me.

I think these two matches are something that everyone there will remember, but not in a good way.

I sincerely apologise to those who took what I said as offensive( which by looking at my rep bar was quite a few of you), looking back on what I said I think I could have expressed what I said a lot better, and I should have read the first post in full before replying.

Unfortunately the videos on YouTube of Einstein finals 2010 aren't very good. The cameras cut away from 67's winning hang at the end of the match.

I'd probably say (for the sake of history), 1992 F4R2 is pretty important.

Basically, the formula for seeding did not factor in wins or losses directly. The winning alliance would get their score + 2 times the loser's score + 5 points. The losing alliance would get the winning alliance's score. If you know you are going to lose a match for sure, scoring in the correct goal is actually the least productive thing you can do - it helps your opponents tremendously and doesn't help you at all.

The other half of the equation for the 1114 6v0 match was the particular teams involved. 111 and 1114 spent the entire weekend jockeying for the #1 seed. They were basically tied for #1 seed at the time. If 1114 played a hard fought match against 111 and 469 and lost, it would guarantee that 111 seeded above 1114, which would basically guarantee 111 advanced to Einstein. By playing the 6v0 match, 1114 ensured that 111 would only get 5 more ranking points than them in the worst case scenario. 1114's alliance partners needed to block their own goals in order to prevent 111 from scoring on themselves to boost their ranking.

This match was a "hostile 6v0" in that 1114 did not collude with the opposing alliance before the match, and actively hindered their efforts to seed higher, so you can't say this is "throwing a match". This is the strategy that would give the 1114 alliance the most seeding points, while denying the most seeding points possible to the opposing alliance.

If that makes your head hurt, you weren't alone. The ranking system was among the very best at actually ranking teams based on quality, but it sure did cause some headaches.
