A little off topic, but 1641 COULD be stopped, but it took a really good pusher, or sometimes even two, during which our alliance partners were capping away.
As for the fall, we were only capping one at that point, and we were just seeing if we could go higher than the other machine. Turned out we couldn't. Didn't hurt much, actually, one little piece snapped off and everything else was just fine. Fortunately for us and unfortunately for them, 64 (Gila Monsters) on the opposing team caught us on the way down.
That was the only time we tipped the entire competition, and it's not going to happen again, after some upgrades on Thursday at the Championship!
