Luckily our robot was built to be robust and manuverable so it wasnt hard for our base driver to dislodge the goal from our chute. Not to burst any bubbles, but even though your defensive strategy was well executed, if I remember correctly we still would have won without the penalties for trying to kill our amazing human player.  |
I'm pretty sure we lost by 10 points, 60-70, or something like that- and the penalty was one of a 10 point sort. What makes this even more bittersweet for us is the fact that while we were delivering balls one trickled out undetected from our partner's ball chute and was never shot. You guys really dictated how these matches were gonna be played, we just couldn't ignore how many balls your robot delivered and the fact that 99% of the balls found their target. teh insanity.
On a side note, while we were pushing you under the ball chute I noticed that both of our bar hooks were knocked off- but I don't recall you hanging later during any playoff rounds, could/did you guys hang? Plus, I noticed in some previous pics y'all had a 2x ball geabber, I'm guessing you swapped that for the bar hanger?
Congrats on building an impressive machine, we'll see you in atlanta-
[edit] Turns out a referee told our main driver we received 2 penalties- our first 2, coincidentally- one for going under the ball chute and one for stepping over a line. [/edit]
