We were told in advance of MSC about the bolt issue, but neither Rush's bot nor ours is large enough to hit them.

The frustrating part for me personally is that at Troy, and at States in an earlier qualification match, our minibot hit the top plate with an audible thud. The tower lights did not change, and we were told we did not score.

In that particular elimination match, for some reason, it was ruled differently. I can only speculate that, as someone else suggested, perhaps the FMS system saw the trigger. It was all very confusing.
