Ok, here goes

It was the most contreversial match because:

Clark (696) was all the way on the ramp, We (294) would have been on the ramp, but the ramp was moved out of place and was touching our robot. 60 was clearly on because the clips were on the ramp.


From this, several questions arise:

In the rules it says breaking the ramp is illegal and results in disqualification. The only parts that could have broken the ramp was our arm, which snapped, but we kept it up, or 60's ramp clips, which could be in itself illegal because the rules also state that you cannot grap onto the ramp for position.


So from this reasoning:

The alliance with 60 might have been DQ'd for moving the grating, making the losing alliance the winners.


I am not bitter :-) In fact, I felt that the other alliance had a well played win :-) Just my thoughts.
