There were 2 things that played a role in our flipping:
a) our 6' "Wings" were out (they're more like arms) and they hit the clear siding of the ramp which did 2 things. First, it unaligned us from where we thought we were, because we didn't see it hit. Second, it twisted us at the angle that:
b) our drive system went too fast.
Just to say it, I was driving this match, and I didn't think I gunned it that much....
I mean, I barely tapped our system, but I guess our arms created too much of a problem.
Anyway, like I stated in my description, we did succesfully get 190 QP in our following match...
