We did once. We got bit by the bug in 2008 that if the radio lost signal it would latch onto the last received packet for up to a second before fail safing. We were driving in the school autoshop, and the undercarriage of a nearby vehicle just so happened to be at MOSFET level. Fastest I've never seen $800 disappear!
Congrats to 131, 58, and 1831 on the win, it's nice to see a Maine team with a blue banner. A close second for 1519, 2791, and 885 -- having had the opportunity to play with 1519 many times in the past and working a little bit with 2791 this season I think we'll hear from then again. Also great to see the PVC Pirates win the RCA, I still remember their robot from my rookie year before they were even called the PVC Pirates!
