What we've seen from looking at the match logs is that we were playing with fire in almost all our quals matches. In nearly every match our voltage would drop to under 7v at one point or another. I guess just through normal wear and tear our gearboxes and drive train got less efficient over the competition making it harder for the motors to drive us forward as things slowly got misaligned or loosened. Somehow it lasted through quals just fine and just through bad luck failed during the elims.

Hopefully that made sense.
