True story:
During Stack attack an arm from an opposing robot found the only hole in our armor and started thrashing around inside our robot. After about 10 seconds of this our robot died on the field. At first we believed that they had damaged the IFI controller but once the match was over we discovered the real reason we stopped.

Apparently their robot had grabbed on to the serial cable between the IFI controller and the radio and pulled. Fortunately one of our students had forgotten to screw in the cable, and as such it just pulled out rather than damage the controller.

... sometimes you just get lucky.
