In a scrimmage match we had a ball hit the main breaker and disable us. We made some modifications to protect against such things. We also had a robot run into us in a semi finals match and damage their RC on our hitch. In the final match at KSC one of the robots died about 15 sec. into the match. They did a great job of hiding the fact, acting as if they were still driving in the player station. The opponents (our alliance) didn't notice until there were about 30 seconds left. The problem was a low battery. In the haste to make repairs they forgot to change out the battery before the final match. We have assigned two very important people on our team the role of "battery boys".
