Koci is an unknown quantity at this point
There's more to this story than meets the eye, and I guess since I was driving during the round, I am as good as any to tell it.

We played this match, but right after autonomous ended, both us (624) and our partner (651) were disabled until 1:15, as if the red button had been pressed during the autonomous for both of our robots. Of course, they weren't. The people on the field decided to replay the match. 912 happened to bring a 2nd battery, so they spent 10 minutes replacing it. When we restarted the match, we had a stack of 4 on our side, and 7 bins in our zone. We saw a stack of 2 on their side, but assumed they didn't have 14 bins, and thus both us and our ally went to the top, our partner not able to stay up there. If we knew this would have been the score, we would've knocked their bins down.

However, I think the score was VERY appropriate for the match, as our opponents had won the match the first time, but due to problems on the field disabling our robot.
