Mayb the robot that was tipped was a serious threat to the opposing teams, and they *knew* they couldnt beat it, so they did what was wrong and tipped it. Thats one way of controlling a game. I disagree with it, and would rather have seen the match been played out by all four robots. Ohh well...

In the last 30 seconds of one of our matches, both of our robots were on the ramp, one of theirs, and a ton of bins on our side of the field. Their other alliance robot was stuck - high centered on a bin. So i went and unstuck them, and then they headed for the ramp. They get up there and wouldnt let us up. I pushed and shooved until all robots ended on the ramp. You shoulda heard the gasp from the audience when i drove our robot off the ramp.

Most things that happen in a match are for stratagy, you dont go tipping other robots just to prove you can. I tipped a robot once. They were able to get up, and I'll tell you, they showen no mercy after that.!
