Re: 2014 Orlando Regional

Ok so here is what happened from the perspective of someone who was standing 5 feet from them and spoke with there alliance members about it.

1902 (exploding bacon)'s shooter was not on there robot for elims. they needed to dead weight to play there primary role as a defender. they loaded 2 extra batteries onto there robot totaling approximately 24 lbs. they did NOT go to inspection with them on. (i assume they where thinking that there robot weight did not include ANY batteries) Due to R35 this is prohibited and caused them to violate T10 resulting in a red card for the alliance.

Both quarter finals matches where played before a member of 179 (Children Of The Swamp) noticed this and challenged the match based on the T10 violation by steeping into the question box. It was ruled to be illegal. The #1 seed alliance of pink, cryptonite, and exploding bacon where DQ'd. As this violation could have impacted the outcome of QF 1-1 and QF 1-2 they advance.
