Here's a cool thought

Engineer on team #190, Gompeii, from Mass Academy and WPI.

I’ve had this reoccuring daydream about this comp in 2k1. Situation is there is one robot left on the starting side of the field, ramp is toggled on that side, to allow the bot to go up, 10 sec left to get the 30 sec multiplier. It is the final match of elimation rounds. Just as the bot is getting ready to cross and get into the end zone, small ball gets lodged under the ramp, its now stuck. Team decides to go for all the glory, and speeds off towards the ramp at full blast, and goes up the ramp. It leaves the ramp and is flying towards the end zone, much like a football player dives towards it, as time is expiring, the robot comes crashing into the endzone, inoperable, but they win the match. Game over…

That would make one heck of an animation… err… not that anyone here is looking to steal ideas, heh . That would be cool to see. Oh, and dont worry none. Team 108 is never creative, we always rip off some commercial.
