It was a close call, I think a penalty could have gone either way. It was definitely not intentional to tip, nor break off 1889's arm. The 1390 students immediately asked 1889 if there was anything we could do to help repair the arm, but they said it was an easy fix and not to worry about it.

Good thing that it was a fairly easy fix!

The alliances are shaping up quite nicely...can't wait for 1pm!

Quarantine? That sounds new... So now no fixing/tweaking a bot during lunch?
