I heard a rumor that after the season and despite a regional victory, a certain team had a pizza party celebrating the end of "the worst FIRST game ever" (their words). While they ate and told stories of the 2015 season, they carefully disassembled every reusable motor, controller, air cylinder, nut, bolt, and e-clip from their bot. As the story goes, they ceremonially passed around "Stanley", the large orange dead-blow hammer, so each team member got a good whack or three at the remaining frame. Supposedly, the carcass was then drug around an empty parking lot, carried up to the top of the football stadium, and thrown over the back to much cheering and delight. Finally, it was cut up with a saws-all for scrap.

Of course, it's just a rumor I heard...
