The facts here have been either misinterpreted or misunderstood. I have good friends on the team in question, and when I heard this rumor before elims started I did something crazy -- I went and spoke with them about what I heard. The response was, "Yeah, we have a broken joystick. It cuts out intermittently, and it's been a problem all weekend."
They were as surprised as anyone that they were picked in spite of this problem -- and it's wonderful that they contributed well to their alliance throughout eliminations.

If they believed their robot wasn't working, why did they accept their invitation?
And what's with this sudden sentiment that anything even remotely controversial should absolutely never be discussed or even brought up on CD? What, exactly, are we supposed to be using this forum for then?
