About halfway through the timeout between F2 and F3 we discovered the pot body had rotated slightly causing the pickup arm to be out of position. The few minutes remaining were not enough to tighten it and reset the zero point.
At Queen City we will hot glue the body to the gear box and use threadlock.

We also had a battery retaining bracket break during F2 and we spent most of the timeout zip tying the battery in place.

Overall it appears we survived the finals carnage without significant damage.
