She was 228's HP, but luckily we had a back-up. Nothing was broken, but it was a really bad bruise and a charlie-horse cramp at the same time; and she had to be carried off the field. Just to be on the safe side, they took her to the hospital. She was back in a few hours, on the sidelines cheering us on for the elimination rounds. I saw her in school today, and she'll be on crutches for a few more days. But from what our team captain said, who's also her older brother, you can see the V-shape in the bruise on her leg from the corner of the tetra. But she's in good spirits, and will be fine soon enough. Elgin, I'd like to see the video of that, maybe you can possibly PM me the link to it? I'll talk to her tomorrow to see if she would mind the video being made public.
Also, our team was talking about this, and FIRST really should extend the Lexan wall that protects the drivers to the entire width of the field, and possibly wrap around the corner a few feet, to safe guard the human players from tetras that come off the corner goals. Otherwise, move the pressure pads back a few feet away from the field.
To all other human players, just keep your eyes open, and remember that your safety is more important than staying on the pressure pad.
