This was Curie Quarter Final 1-1. With approximately 11 Seconds left on the clock, the Red Alliance of 341, 254 and 78 were setting up to triple balance when the fog horn was sounded and the match was stopped. Once the robots were removed from the bridge, one of the field volunteers retrieved the roomba from under the bridge.

Interestingly enough, had the roomba remained under the bridge it wouldn't have had any effect on the match.
