We were standing around the practice field on evening in Houston, and a "flailer" team (not 980, 234, 71, or 148... I don't remember who it was) was setting up their bot for practice. I guess they had their autonomous mode set backwards because instead of knocking down the wall... the arm swung out into the crowd of bystanders. After things calmed down, 3 Members of 229 were down on the ground, a 4th was standing there white as a ghost, muttering something about feeling something brush against his nose....
