The machine consisted of a ramming plate, driven by a large pneumatic actuator, that looked like it was designed to push robots extremely hard and most likely lead to damage.
If you feel so stongly about this, then why did your team program our robot to go full speed ahead into the other alliance's big scorer in autonomous period? Personally I think that you're trying to make us alone your excuse for losing, but that's ok, we all try to put blame onto other things sometimes.


Really Joe? Sparky has been in that situation? When? Seems to me that you probably had the most resources and funding of anyone in that competition. I don't mean this offensively (no pun intended).
