We certainly didn't injure 181, only stopped them. The 5 point penalty caused us to lose the match and get knocked out of the competition. We weren't even opperating at top speed and most people were shocked at the call, the corner goal ref even apologized to one of my team mates after the competiton, saying it was a bad call. When team 20 was knocked out of the competition we went over to talk to them, their frame had been bent in an inch THROUGH a bumper and no penalty was called. It seems to me that this particular rule hasn't been called fairly.
I think this competition is alot like football, esspecially in auto mode. Your gonna get hit and hit hard, no matter what happens. FIRST even mentioned making your robot robust for this game in their animation.

I'm sorry to hear you lost a match. But not as sorry as I am the hear that one official put themselves above another. Please say it wasn't so! I hope your team mate (sic) was mistaken. Officials have no business apologizing for another's call.
