Hey- if anyone has a photo of the infamous "pedestal round" in the strength battle, please post it!! That was amazing.

For those who missed it two robots, 303 and 56 in the "Sumo" type match, apparently applied just the right amount of pressure at just the right timing for both robots to tip backwards on their chassis lifting the goal about a foot off the ground and effectively pinning them both backwards with their wheels spinning in the air. 303 eventually won the match because the marker for the goal was about 3 inches moved in their direction but you couldn't do that again if you planned it. Bizarre.

It took both teams and the field crew lifting the goals to get the two disengaged.

Why do these things seem to happen to 303?

That was amazing - I think the planets must have been aligned properly or something! I don't think we could make that happen again if we wanted to.

That was a fun competition. Thanks Team 25!!
