Re: Unscheduled Team Update: 3-20-2014

Reminds me of Rack 'n Roll. Semifinal matches, Lone Star Regional. Immediately out of autonomous, the robot driver commands the robot to traverse the length of the field faster than the opposing alliance can grab their sticks, and smashes into an opposing robot so hard 418's battery comes flying out of it, and the opposing robot just dies on the field right there. We drew a yellow card that match, but no other penalty.

And Aim High, Finals 1-2 at Lone Star Regional. 118 in autonomous moves to a repeated spot on the field, a spot that 418 was specifically aimed for. As soon as 118 is in position and begins calibrating its shooter, 418 traverses the field (still in auto) and hits 118 so hard that 118 spins almost 118 degrees on the field and the entire auditorium screams, "OUCH!". No penalty, no card.

Today we'd probably lose those matches due to penalties.
