For one specific case, in 2009 how did 254 get knocked out in Division Quarters?

This robot, easily looks as good as any team on Einstein.
Or another example, this year 1114 was almost identical to 254. |
I was a driver on the alliance that beat 254 in the quarters. The strategy was to pin 254 from the side, while 245 and 816 cleaned up the field. 254 had a long robot that year, if you pushed them from the side they were basically immobilized. Then 217's alliance used a similar strategy on our robot in semis, knocking us out.
