I think that might have happened in QF1-2 at Milwaukee. It looks like all the robots stop at once, and then we(1675; big yellow PVC forks pointing up) ram our alliance partner. Same code, stopped in match 1, not in 2. This behavior didn't make sense at all to me, or anyone on our team at the time, but this field issue might explain it. Perhaps it screwed up our Timer or something.
From the other alliance's point of view, I could see this being a possibility as well. One of our alliance partners, 2039, drove a bit farther than they usually did, so they missed their shot. Our team, 537, also experienced problems as our robot never fired its ball during autonomous and drove a little bit farther than normal. Maybe the encoders on 2039 and 537 were reset part way through. I could see that possibly causing these problems, as 2039 drove farther and we never reached the encoder value that we fire our ball at.
