Our intake was up inside our robot. Theirs rammed and climbed at such force it caused the V bend. It wasn't malicious but they were on top of us for a bit before we were separated. Full throttle hitting impact may not be the best way to defend. Our shooter was unable to work due to the bend bar.
We were prepared as we knew this was going to be one Dukes of Hazard type of game and brought all the possible part spares we could but happening in the semis was just like---Dang-it
Still--I would take this game 10x over last years!!!
