Team 3360, Hyperion, from Sherbrooke, QC is knocked of the Pyramid.

The Red Alliance featuring 3360 Hyperion, 509 Red Storm, and 151 The Tough Techs
beat the Blue Alliance teams of 4124 Integration by Parts, 1922 Oz-Ram, and 1517 The Lumberjacks, by a score of 76 - 51, largely due to this 50 point penalty that was awarded to Red.
This is a whole match and one of my favorites of the few I managed to grab.
There is the whole Robot falling off the pyramid thing, but then there is also the opening shot from behind the player station.
Hyperion's Robot has a dragon on it. More importantly, they won the spirit award. One of their team members did play-by-play en francais.
A little dead spot after the fall while they try to get back on the pyramid, but then.....

....Check out the Lumberjacks 1517 at the end (1:30).
If that isn't one of the Steampunkiest drivetrains.
Plus their shooter looks cool and is made out of wood.
And then, wait until you see how they have approached the pyramid climb.

4124, Integration by parts went on to win the Regional with Team 610 from Toronto and 3609 The Duct Tape Bandits
