Joe, this situation is a slightly different. Beatty would have to push a 3 goal + MOEhawk system with about 14 file cards on the floor distributed between our 3 anchors. The nagging question is: Can the BEAST push this mess of well-anchored metal from one scoring zone to the next in less than 2 min?
I know the file cards do not damage the carpet. After the static friction is overcome, the file cards slide themselves out of the carpet and slip harmlessly across the carpet at a severely reduced coefficient of friction. The only damage I can see occurring is a tear in the carpet due to carpet bunching on both sides, not the file cards cutting it. While some bots were pushing against us, the referees forced us to retract our brakes due to carpet bunching.

I disagree I believe we beat you by one DQ. We had one at Kennedy, two in St. Louis(one was a Double DQ  ), and one more at the Nationals(by the same referee that DQed us twice at St. Louis, boy he liked us).

Yes, Heatwave does have 1 more total DQ than us, but all of the First and Last titles still belong to MOEhawk. However, we did have a partner get shut down during a quaterfinal match because a hit released thier tether (I believe it was spring-loaded) out of bounds. Thier tether missed the line referee by atleast a couple inches
, he shouldn't have shut down thier bot.
Did you have a mid-match shut down like this Heatwave?
