What is the worst match you ever played in vex?

At a tipping point comp in Socal I drove an easy semifinal match that was against a significantly less capable team and a 4 motor push bot. Absolutely sold the match, we won but we tried our very hardest to loose. The last ruling about a mobile goal that was on our platform but also touching the perimeter and maybe even the ground got counted dunno why. I swear I didn’t deserve to win this match my brain just turned off. I have a video but its so bad I’m literally concerned to share it. We set the best skills score in the world for middle school at that same comp lol, and I drove that match too.

At the green bay sig this year, our partner didn’t turn their pneumatics on. We were up against pibotics. We lost 212-0. Enough said.

This is new. Usually people’s brains turn off when they’re playing against the best team in the state. Lucky you!

This is the largest turn around, and I think we ended in being ranked ninth that day. Made it to the finals.

I wanted to be driver, and everyone on my team was okay with it. After we finished our bot, the next day was our first competition, so I’ll just say that didn’t turn out good. We switched drivers. :thinking:

Our arm got stuck a few times in matches in a raised position after autonomous when we used block code. We lost those matches…

The worst group was during semi-finals, during states. My teammate snatched the controller from me and then drove, we ended up only getting 10 points? Don’t even know how

There may have been this one time where we fell over twice in quarterfinals at states and lost to the 8th seed…
RIP that robor :skull:

Me and my team went undefeated at state out of our 10 matches, got in a pretty high seed and lost our first finals match to the 14th seed. I have no words, we just played terrible. :neutral_face:

state final 2, we cut our zip ties holding the inertial sensor wire on (not being used and other wires were there too). forgot to zip tie it, and uh back lift got stuck.
