Nomiante Your Play of the Year!

[Beth Sweet]

As much as I loved the strategy on our 1241 capping match, I would have to say that my favorite match was Buckeye quarterfinals when we filled our mobile goal, capped it, went over, stole the cap from the other teams mobile goal, backwards capped ours then went over to hang with our partner for the nation's high score. I was seriously having a heartattack!

The quarter finals were much more exciting than any other round! The first match where we lifted 306 with us up on the bar and they fell off... I want to see videos! And you and 1126 having a story book match in the second quarter final... well worth the voice that I'm still lacking!

Definately 67 + 1241. Great job to all teams in that match!

Well my favorite play would have to be in the finals at UTC when we flipped in autonomous mode and our partner RAGE came to our rescue and righted us we may have lost that match 135-150 but I think that it was awesome that RAGE came to our rescue.

Mine comes from Quarter Final 3, Match 3 of the Midwest Regional. Us (team 45) need to cap the goal to win, but team 93 has something to say about that. 93 opens their ball catching doors and makes space between our robot and the goal, but our robot has the power to reach over, set it in place and lift the ball up and hang it there so 93 cannot just flip it out. Thus, winning the match, and sending us to the semis.

aaaaagh that was devastating (i was on that alliance) but i must agree, probably the best play ive seen at least.

It almost made me cry just seeing that beautiful yellow ball sitting so high.

My play(s) of the year has to be (also) team 67 capping 1241. 1241 had an awesome first day, then the they had to play Hot (as their last match of the day i believe). Well Hot capped 1241s stationary goal before 1241's HP could fill it with balls, giving team 67 and alliance (sorry guys, i dont remember who else it was) the win. Then when the match had to be replayed due to field technical difficulties, Hot pulled off another set of genius strategy, as you all well know.
Thanks Hot, you guys taught us a lesson on how to play that we kept in mind for Midwest regional when we did the same thing to team 93, except that we held on to the ball. Well there is my vote for play(s) of the year.

Our alliance parter was 280, TNT, and 1241's was 1188.

Everyone did a great job in that match. Even after the bot capping, the struggle for the top between 280 and 1188 and the battle between us and 1241 just made it an exciting match all the way through.

I'm going to wait until after Nationals to fully answer this one, although I did like 177's defending of the bar in the semis at philly that brought us to the championship.

My nomination goes to the first match that all four robots hung on the bar. Match 3 of quaterfinal 2 at VCU. It turned out to be a 125-120 win for the #7 alliance. When all four robots are hanging and the score comes down to a single ball...wow. Plus it was an upset.
