[00:00:03]3 2 1 go.

[00:00:08]102 matches.

[00:00:11]We are about to see the 102nd.

[00:00:15]599 breached in the neutral zone. We'll see if they can get some help from Robo Wranglers and they do. Look at that.

[00:00:22]Autonomous gracious professionalism, but blue alliance looking like they may pull ahead here. Red alliance still scoring, but it's going to be a blue alliance win as far as the auto is concerned.

[00:00:35]That means red alliance is going to have the first shift. Blue alliance is shooting and scoring right now. Tool Cats with that double turret.

[00:00:43]599 unloading a huge pile of fuel right there. 148 coming out into the midfield.

[00:00:49]Let's see if they can pick up whatever they can and get that scored. Up it goes and in it goes for the red alliance.

[00:00:55]They've got 10 seconds left in this shift trying to get up over 200 points.

[00:01:00]Now their target's 300 in this shift.

[00:01:02]Let's see if they can do it with 3 seconds to go.

[00:01:05]They'll get the 250 easy. Now blue alliance has the shift. Blue alliance has some high volume shooters there.

[00:01:12]They're all shooting without impedance.

[00:01:16]Red alliance focused on gathering as much fuel as possible and bringing it back to their side of the field, but 599 taking those resources away from the blue alliance and streaking back across the neutral zone heading over to the red alliance side of the field as the shift will change momentarily. Blue alliance with a slight advantage. Red alliance now going to eclipse that, but Robo Wranglers shooting fuel off in behind the driver stations as they get thrown off the line and by the defenders.

[00:01:43]869 taking fuel away from red alliance sending it back to the blue alliance side of the field. A little bit of a lull in scoring right now as red alliance robots line up and they'll see if they can take advantage here and drive a little bit further forward in their quest for 500.

[00:01:58]Blue alliance now matching them point for point. They've got 70 to go to match the red alliance score as we get down to the last 30 seconds in the end game.

[00:02:10]All comes down to resources and timing at this point. So blue alliance is going to match the red alliance score. Going to go a little bit ahead of them as we get down to 4 3 seconds left in their shift.

[00:02:21]This is still anybody's game.

[00:02:25]All scores on deck is what we need right now. All robots scoring in order to be able to keep track and to stay ahead.

[00:02:31]Red alliance is ahead. Blue alliance now putting the surge on seeing if they can get ahead of the red alliance. Red alliance trying to put a lot of distance between them and blue, but blue still on the attack. Here comes a huge pile of fuel from blue right now. In last 6 seconds, but look at this. Red alliance 599 dumping in getting up over 500 points. Blue over 500 and this is going to be it. Wow. Red alliance looked like they might have this. Both sides are going to pick up two ranking points.

[00:02:56]We'll have your official results in just a moment.

[00:03:01]And here we go. Is it going to be red or blue? It's blue. Oh, red alliance has the win here.

[00:03:07]Red alliance coming away 577 points.

[00:03:11]And they will win this. They'll take five ranking points and you're going to see upward motion for all the teams.

[00:03:16]148, they had been at 21. This is going to jump them up to 18, but 599, they had been at 14. This is going to bump them up to number 12. Over there on the >> [music]
