I suspect it was an honest mistake, and your driver forgot which way forward was, but I was watching from the blue driver's station side of the field and you pretty clearly bumped the bridge, even if it likely had zero effect on the balancing going on at the time.

You can't tell what it actually hit (in the video) but 457 bounced off something. The ref's reaction was pretty quick, it must have been the bridge. Looks like driver error - understandable.

Thanks, Kevin. I see it in Laura Hood's video. From the forward/backward point of view (as with a lot of the robots, there's not much to distinguish our front from our back), it looks like we backed into the bridge.

It took me a couple days, but I finally got my videos off of my camera.

I had a different angle and you can clearly see the robot hit the bridge at about 2 minutes into the video. (http://youtu.be/twF1OOgIu9I)

It would have been an easy mistake for the driver to make.
