Curie had 4 Roombas available. Two volunteers put out 4 Roombas during lunch. Another (different) volunteer picked up the Roombas after lunch. Not knowing 4 were initially deployed, he retrieved the 3 that he saw. The 4th had climbed up the ball deflector under the red alliance bridge to the point that no one could see it (without leaning under the bridge). When 78 came off the bridge into the red lane, the rogue Roomba was dislodged and slid down the ball deflector, keeping the bridge from tipping all the way to the red scoring side.
