Oh man... the same thing happened to us on Saturday. Having never experienced the 8.3 bug before, we figured it wouldn't happen to us, and I had heard an IFI rep saying that teams who had never encountered the bug shouldn't need to use the fix. Mistake! Our robot was incapacitated during one of the Archimedes final rounds (or was it the semi-finals?) and we lost the match. Luckily, we were able to bounce back and win the rest of our matches.
