Re: 494........

I understand that people get angry when they are beat, but can we stop blaming, and just congraulate the winners. They did what they thought was nessessary at that point to win the match. They (494) removed the hook after the realized that it caused serious damage.

During our (1018) autonomous mode, we would go out until we hit something (supposed to be the mobile goal), and latch on. Most of the time we latched the goal, sometimes it was the platform, sometimes other robots. After this happened, we unlatched and continued with the match. We may have cause damage, but it was unintentional. Maybe this is what happened. I was there for that match, but didn't see it clearly. Can we stop assuming that 494 did all this alleged distruction on purpose and just take note of the things that can happen in the heat of a match and design against it next year? Take this as a learning experience, and be a better team through it.
