We actually knocked off 1918, when we hit the top of the tower trying to get our hooks latched to pull up to level 3. When the decision to red card 1678, a student from 1918 was so upset that the call was incorrect that he passionately objected to the call. We had to stop him from approaching the head ref.

No one from either alliance wanted to see 1678 red carded. I believe we won that match without it, and wanted the scores to reflect the actual events of the match.

1678, 148, and 862 proceeded to out execute us enroute to a trip to Einstein in F2 and F3. All three teams were awesome in those matches and on the big stage.
Okay, I wasn't quite sure of the situation, I had just noticed that someone else had posted about it and I had heard similar. My mistake, that is why I deleted the post. Didn't mean any harm, I was interested in hearing the full story as well.
