I just posted the video that I got from Team 207 on Youtube here:

The jump is around the 0:47 sec mark

I hope they don't mind that I posted their video for them, but it was one of the most incredible and awesome things I've seen all season. A very gutsy move with no hesitation. They also were using rapid prototyped wheels this year, which made it all the more incredible that they didn't break something. (I guess Team 3528 did take some of the impact).

It was great playing with Team 207 in Curie and on Einstein this year. Those guys have a great team and we look forward to playing with them again out on the West Coast.
