Re: 2013 Pine Tree Regional

Based on what we were told, 2386 was not allowed to use the compressor on their cart because it was not controlled by the robot's battery (even though it was the same thing). Before finals match 2 they were asked to remove their pre-charge air and use the compressor on their robot to charge their tanks.

In the process, one of the cables to power their sidecar came unplugged and due to how much time was used to sort out the pnuematics issue they were asked to leave the field to start the match. So the reason 2386 didn't move in finals match 2 was not because of an illegal component it was due to an electrical problem we didn't have time to fix. Between finals match 2 and 3 2386 quickly fixed the problem and they were back up and running for match 3.
