I saw quite a few teams getting bumped around while getting tetras in the loading zones and were never penalized.

One more thanks to 660 and 57 for an awesome alliance!

There should have actually been fourty points deducted from purple haze alliance in our first semi-final against them because they repeatedly rammed our bot four times when it was in the human player loading zone. The refs said it was because our human player didn't run to the robot, but with our design that would have been completly unsafe and not in accordance with the spirit of First. But, oh well. I don't think our right track could have lasted another match. The motor gave me burns on my hand because the belt that was inside the robot was far to tight and was overloading the motor. Great game ya'll though and sorry to team 57, we truly did not wish you to fall. Thanks to all our alliance members and see ya'll next year!
