For everyone else, in F1 1918 fell off the tower from the 30pt level. The refs ruled that someone on the red alliance hit the tower, causing 1918 to fall. That is not what happened! 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.

I concur with what Adam says. After review of the climb on our goPro camera We were not completely hooked at the top of the tower when 67 hit and the top of the tower. I do not think we would have fallen had the tower had not been hit. Also not sure we could have hung on with that hit if we had been hooked correctly. After the fall we all agreed that letting 67 get hooked before we went for the top rung was the best plan.
It was an honor to be picked and be able to play with 4814 and 67
Thanks to both of you for having the confidence to pick the 69th ranked team in the division.
