I would be curious to see the spread for the alliances who lost a robot due to failure in playoffs, which position on the alliance they were in. (captian, 1st pick, 2nd pick) does anyone have those statistics?

As a captain in both of our competitions every position (Captain, 1st pick, and second pick) has had an issue at some point. At our first competition, we lost a tread halfway through a match in both QF matches. In that same competition, our first pick lost their awesome high shooter before elims even started due to an unfixable problem. They then damaged their low shooter in our first QF match and had to be a defense crosser for our second match. Also at that competition, our second pick got stuck on a boulder when the other alliance tipped them over (they got a yellow card.). I don't really consider that breaking. At our second competition, we lost a tread at toward the beginning of a match in our third match. In our first match at the second competition, our second pick had a boulder get stuck in their shooter. Congrats to 447 to being the only robot to not have something odd and unpredictable go wrong in the playoffs with us (*knock on wood*). To say the least, this game has been really rough on everyone.
