I just want to make one comment: 469 doesn't have a hook. 93's net got caught on a pneumatic fitting.

If 469 had a hook, I would agree with your statement. However I have trouble placing blame when the robot gets caught on a pneumatic fitting, bolt, tie-wrap, or anything else that is a "standard" part on a robot. I believe that if 469 did the same thing to team 71, 33, 45, or 175, nothing would've gotten tangled. In fact, 469 did a similar move to 177 with no entanglement in a different match.

This I completely agree with.
