Re: What was your teams worst expierence during competition?
2013 Queen City Regional
During one of our last qualification matches an opposing robot decided to lower their climbing mechanism past their frame perimeter and ram us while we were shooting from the pyramid. The impact forced our shooter down and bent our intake and shooter. We went from about 85-90% accuracy to 65% and barely managed to win our next few matches to secure the 1st seed position. Sadly we couldn't fix it and lost in the quarterfinals. That was the first time ever we were confident we had a shot to win a regional, just bad luck. We were all very disappointed. And our shooter continued to plague us with problems for our next two regionals after that.
I did talk the drivers from the team that hit us and they ensured me in no way did they intend to damage us so no hard feelings there.
