Ditto on the Newton field semis. Amazing matches.

Anyone looking for amazing matches to watch after you watch the Einstein finals and watch the Newton finals then watch every match 322 played. I need to give them props. (I know they were in Newton Finals yet once you see them there you must see their other matches)

That's an awesome compliment to our team, thank you very much.....especially coming from you guys, your robot was unreal.

QF2-1 at the midwest regional. towards the end, 1806 and us were on our backs, and 107 held off all three of the opposing teams, and won it for us

I've gotta continue the motion for all of the Newton Final Matches those were some nail biters. But my personal favorites were the Einstein finals matches, the strategy was incredible, those were the matches that were impossible to predict. I always appreciate some good strategy.

Also, I gotta admit that the match at the PNWR with 488 and 254 battling it out to the last 15 seconds was amazing. I am glad that those have already been mentioned. The drivers I am sure had a fun time with that one, that was a battle of the drivers. Props have to go to team 488,956 and 1839 for getting back fast enough to block 254, and also for making your job easier getting 753 out of the way, they are one tough cookie. I hope everybody in that match had fun with that one.

And one last match, I promise, the finals at the PNWR with 254, 753, and 114 which looking at their history were meant to be in the finals, but I mean 360 came out of nowhere, they played a remarkable game beating 254's alliance once with some pretty good defense. I look forward to seeing 360 next year at the PNWR, good luck you guys.

In the last part of the match, SPAM (180) lost one of their treads on their drivetrain, yet still managed to win the match .. very impressive.

For team 180, the best robot matches that we played in were against 1114. We had the (mis)fortune to play against them four times on Saturday (one qualifying, three elimination). Those were an amazing set of matches. We won one, lost three and the three losses were all due to 1114 finally breaking free and shooting 15-30 balls near the end. We won QF1-2 with 1305 and 358 because all three of us got on to the ramp for the 25 point bonus. 180 got up with one tread missing. We also played QF1-3 without that tread. Thankfully, we have four treads on our robot instead of two so we suffer from reduced traction and manuverability instead of being completely incompacitated if we lose one.

omg the finals matches on Einstein were amazing especially the last one. when the newton alliance was 1 pt behind archimedes with 10 seconds left i jumped up and started screaming and cheeerin. it was intense the human players just started hurling all the balls from each alliance and the robots were unloading balls like mad and making a mad dash for the ramps. truely amazing.

If the Einstein finals match had last even a fraction of a second longer, 195 would have made it onto the ramp, and it would have been 99-98 in favor of the Newton alliance. 217 nailing all 10 autonomous shots (yet again) was the key, but the Raider RAWCs gave one of the most exciting comebacks I have ever seen. When 217 got into position on the ramp in the 3rd/4th period I thought it would be over, but the last second heroics on 25 dashing to score 3 or 4 more balls, and 968 managing to empty the rest of it's hopper kept it very close.

Does anyone know if there is any video of Newton Semifinal 2-2 besides the webcast? The webcast, with all the zooming in it does, just doesn't seem to do justice to the match.

we love you guys!!

not to be bias, but our three matches in newton quarter finals were pretty intense. It was 229, 85, and us (11) (fifth alliance) against 254, 71, and a third team which i currently do not recall the number from (fourth alliance). We started off losing the first match, flipping our robot and destroying our main scoop/pressure board on our harvester. We called a time out, and as seven students calmly sat around the damage robot, working to quickly solve the problem as the adults panicked in the stands, everyone though we were out of the running for sure. Near the end of our time out, we pulled a salvaged robot onto the field and loaded 10 balls into the magazine. We started off with a flawless autonomous mode, gaining a massive lead. With full function restored through some not-so-trustworthy repair methods, our robot was harvesting right away. Cheesypoofs scored alot, but in the end, we came through with an amazing victory, although flipping our robot at the end of the match again, shattering the guard for our shooter. The tie breaker match was intense, our robot remaining in one piece, while one of the opponents separated into two. In the end, we wound up loosing the math 48 to 45, a close match that could have been tied with one shot, or won with one shot and a human player. It was a disappointment to be out of the running so soon, but we put up an amazing fight and came through very close in the end. I'll try to find a video soon.
