Re: This is a brutal game.
I saw a battery knocked physically out of a Robot and the Brazilian team seemed to have large cracks in their plastic at NYC.

Our robot got so battered that there was perhaps only two screws holding on the entire right hand cover of our robot by the end, with a substantial amount of Cable ties on the robot. It didn't stop us from being defensive in Autonomous though, charging towards the far goal to block an opponent from scoring, with the 'occassional' contact resulting from it...

Mind you, some teams are getting disciplined as our opponents were disqualified in the second heat of our semi-final for something along the lines of excessive ramming at high speed so I'm told for their actions against 694's robot Joshua. If it weren't for that decision, they would have been in the final instead of us... we won the tie-breaker by 2 points.
