Re: 2013 Peachtree Regional

From what I saw in the match before, 832 did have major issues with their battery and creo plate, which sagged a foot when they were carrying it off the field, remaining on the robot. As seen in 832's coach's post above and from what I saw on the field, it did not seem that their robot was disabled but rather that they lost connection to their battery and/or creo and/or pdb all from the massive hits from resulting from both 3489 and 4080 simultaneously pushing 832 5 feet and slamming them into the alliance wall. After this, they never moved again and it seemed that they had lost power. From the timing of the robot stopping and the damage inflicted in the match before, that is the conclusion the rest of my team and I drew. Just my opinion on what happened
In other news, I had a great time at the regional and hope to be there again next year and see many of the same teams there! Thanks to everyone for making the regional amazing!
