If your bot wasnt touching the ramp anywhere and you lost out on 25 points, then why didnt you say anything?!

I posted the photo becasue it shows how that a fraction of an inch is the difference between winning and losing. When two teams are so closely matched that they have to get the micrometers out to see who won - thats pretty exciting.

And it also reminds us to not take ourselves so seriously. I dont know why you only got points for one bot on the ramp - I dont know what the other side of the ramp looked like - or maybe one of your bots was dragging a piece of bumper or wire or something.

I saw one match where a team lost the 25 points because they had put a little flag on their bot so they could see it on the other side of the field, and the flag was touching the top of the sidewall.

I thought it was pretty cool that after the 6 weeks of building and two regionals, it all came down to this for us - we lost by what? a few thousands of an inch?

OK - you totally womped us

by a hair! :c)
