Thats really rough. I almost cant imagine that happened, but I dont doubt it did.
Though not intentional at all as the attack on you obviously was, we also had a problem during a practice match. It was at Rutgers (NJ). We had grabbed a goal using our T-bar primary gripper and began to maneuver around, testing the drive capabilities. Well, a robot (I think it was that Vermont team with the green robot) wanted to get the other side, for a tug-of-war. The tug lasted about 6 seconds, as the longer but obviously weaker T-bar on the VT robot snapped. As the driver, I felt horrible, even though they did request the tug-of-war.
After the incedent, I went over to their pit and offered them the use of any of our machines, tools, or personnel to repair the damage. They did get it all fixed that day.
Anyway, I'm truly dissapointed to hear about that kind of behavior on a FIRST competition field.
