Most epic supercell shot?

[NickE]

In one of the semifinal matches at the Silicon Valley Regional, it was coming down to the final few seconds and the opponent human player threw a super cell towards a trailer. The super cell landed just short of the trailer but right in the path of 971, who scooped it up and scored it in the trailer right as the buzzer rang. We won that match with a score of 121-10.

The best shot that I saw hands down was with the Bobcat Robotics (177) while we were paired with them in the Newton semifinals. Their human player made the shot at the buzzer, and the trailer was touching the opposing player station. The supercell bounced of a robot, the ground and then went in the trailer.

We have actually had a lot of team discussion on "that match" and "that shot".

Bottom line is the red alliance won the match and the regional 2 -1. Blue alliance got outscored in 2m:15s of play, not in the last 2 seconds.

Our HP took the shot because the match was very close, and we could not take the risk on the real time scoring accuracy. That is part of the excitement of competition.

And, we have already said, in the same situation again, take that shot. We have a lot of faith and confidence in his judgement and his ability.

I have an EPIC FAIL supercell shot.

One that came in the last 2 seconds, immidiatly after the only empty cell in the thrower's vacinty has been thrown by him.

Watch at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9EQxtRJgE0 from 2:07

Final score was 66:65 to the Red alliance that got scored by the super cell.

Wasn't "epic" so much as slightly comical. One of the last matches (don't recall which) at DC one alliance tossed a SC and it missed. Then it just rolls right in to the refueling station of the opposing alliance. The HP there did not even notice it for a few seconds. He finally picked it up w/ about 2 seconds to spare and tossed it over the top and in.

We also had one match (in eliminations) at Chesapeake with 3 (yes three) SC's scored by one side in a match.

The SC's sure did flip many a score at the last second.

Match 42 at the LA Regional had a pretty cool supercell shot.

In the last second a shooter on our alliance shot a supercell and made it in AT the buzzer. We didn't win....but it was pretty neat.

Sorry to the poor guy from 234 that sank the winning shot for the other team.

Funny things is, half of my team (461) didn't know he had scored on our alliance when it happened...
As everyone else that was there has said, he made a great shot. That super cell went straight in, no bouncing around.
He was the best HP at Boilermaker (Wildstang's HP gets a honorable mention) and I'll bet he will redeem himself in Atlanta.

Regardless, it was great to see my team to have a chance to play with teams 234 and 45, and congrats again to 1024, 868, and 292. I wish all of them good luck at the Championships, only wish I could be going with them.

I have to agree to this one, and we were on the winning in. I did not see it go in and, even after the match, had thought we loss.

I remember thinking that he had gotten into score (he is so accurate, how could he not? after watching him take shot after shot all weekend and not miss) for his own team because of the cheers that erupted afterwards. Such an epic match....even with the results, I still believe 234's human player is the one to beat out there.

The shot wasn't epic but in one of the semifinal matches in Boston a HP on the blue alliance shot a super cell, it missed then rolled across the field into the red alliance outpost station where our HP picked it up scored it.

Was pretty funny to see

One of the kids from the Brazilian team (1772) sank one heck of a shot during practice rounds - from the blue corner he tossed it across at least 3/4 of the field - diagonally - to sink it in the last 3 seconds. I went to him to congratulate him, but he didn't speak English. One of his teammates translated. He said Thank You in English.

My favorite Supercell moment happened in match 12 of the OKC regional.
In the last 10 seconds of the match, us and our alliance partner (1742 Shockwave) pushed 2763 into the corner, so 1742's human player could score a supercell at the buzzer.
I haven't seen that kind of robot teamwork in any of the matches before or after.
Its kind of hard to see in the video, but if you look closely enough, you can see us both pushing at the same time at 2:14 in the video.

congrats to 1742 on the regional win, and thanks to 2763 for being such great competitors!

Not a direct link, you'll need to download it.

Our human player made a super cell with 5 seconds left that ended up winning th match for our alliance. It was a close match the whole time, and the trailer it went into may not have been moving, but it was still indeed a clutch shot.

Also, how could I forget our very first match. It was once again a very close match, which because of 9 penalties, appeared as a blow out. Our human player made this shot almost halfway across the field. In fact, you get a great overhead shot of it with seven seconds left. Once again, you need to download it to see it.

I saw almost the same shot at Conetticut I can't remember the exact match, but it was an amazing shot

[iVanDuzer]

I can't remember if it was a SC or not, but...
In qualifying matches at GTR, 1334's HP threw a ball that bounced off the crater edge and into the trailer of the bot I was scouting.

Pretty awesome.

We were watching the CT regional from school- If I remember correctly it was a really early match- like number 3 or something
Threw a super cell basically across the whole field, and scored. It was close, but I dont remember it changing the outcome.
