I got to personally witness this event from about 10 feet away and when I saw 66 slam into the wall I knew that something must have gone wrong. After the match I heard from one of our mentors what had happened and I felt really bad that this had to happen to you guys during the finals. You had an awesome bot and a great autonomous. Its too bad you had to have it happen then but the only thing you can do with the situation is to try and learn from it and get even better, which I am positive that you guys will pull off.
