We had contingency plans for if 27 chose to line up opposite us (548). Part of that plan involved what happened in F2, where the hook on 1711's canburglar was tweaked to have a much better grip on the can.

I'm sure if our alliance had tried that more than once Rush would have had a counter autonomous that didn't lift the hooks, and it would have been a stalemate.
And a shout-out right back to you guys! It was a super risky move; probably the most risky thing that we have ever done in elims. But it paid off! If we hadn't won that war we would have been stuck with only 4 bins.

We all had a great time, and can't wait to see you guys at champs!
