Re: Teams breaking the game

Team 365 had a similar strategy to team 71 for that 2002 game. They had two massive arms that grabbed the outside goals and rubber pad they would put on the floor as a brake. A difference from 71 is that the arms remained rigid after contacting the outside goals. They were rolling over the competition until our match. During autonomous we sent two robots at the same outside goal, wrenched them around and dislodged the goal before they could set their brake. With the other outside goal still attached they were too out of balance to drive anywhere. So I guess we broke the robot that broke the game :-)
