Oh god something like this happened to us at one of our events. Our method of mounting our top plate was a bit janky (we put it in the slot of some REV extrusion with some bolts on either end) and it sometimes fell out mid-match. We were in Q31 and Q37, meaning we had no time to fix the issue between matches. We had a proper mounting method in the works but the time it would have taken to put it on would have made us miss our next match. We went the match without the plate and forgot that our penumatic release valve was normally attached to this plate, meaning it was free-flopping. We went over the moat and got stuck. After a team member pushed us we went completely offline. Our driver checked it out and noticed that the button had been pushed JUST enough to put it offline. :/
