A funny thing happened at the team social, too, Team 2068 came to us asking to be their alliance member. It took them a minute to realize that we weren't Team 343. I said "no takebacks" but I guess they didn't take it seriously.
I really thought that it was only going to be the Canadians robot to be DQed and they would just cancel their points. I would be fine with that. But making the whole alliance be DQed was not expected and I was very mad for about 6 minutes. The very last match was very close, because all of the same number of tubes were up for each alliance. Red alliance had 1 robot 1' off the ground (I think). Our alliance had 2 robots and from my view they looked like a foot off the ground but I was not too sure. Anyone remember which robots where 4" and which where 12? I was so happy that I barely looked.
