The surprise in this video is the fate of the third robot. It is like one of those comedy sketches on Saturday Night Life. You see 2785 driving around in their opponent courtyard, the camera pans away for a bit, the camera pans back and BOOM! there is 2785 upside down (and I mean COMPLETELY wheels to the ceiling) just outside the batter. Crazy.

Does anyone know how this happened? It doesn't LOOK like it has anything to do with the Outerworks so unless I get more info, I am going t rule that this is NOT a Triple Tortuga.

BUT... ...if someone can give me eye witness testimony to connect this to a defense I am open to changing my mind.

Finally, if we don't end up getting enough Triple Ts to claim all the prizes, I will declare this an Honorary Triple Tortuga because of the complete and utter turtling that happened to 2785. Amazing.

Cheers,

Dr. Joe J.
Thank you, I read this and got a big chuckle after watching the video. Knowing it coming made the video even better.
