Re: Curie Semifinal 1 - 3, what happened?

This is a unhappy situation for everyone involved. Most people here havnt broken another teams robot by playing defense on them, but let me tell you it is one of the worst feelings you can get in FIRST.

Last year at GLR I was our teams driver for a mostly defensive robot. Our shooter shot too far and we werent allowed to use it, so we played defense instead. We made it to the quater finals and faced team 1114, 1503? and another good bot. The first round I broke both 1114 and 1503's tank treads off their robots by pushing them sideways. I didnt mean to and I didnt think it would happen, and I definitly felt bad afterwards. I figured they blamed me for doing it on purpose and that I wasnt being GP. I wish i said sorry afterwards but I didnt because it was too hectic, (I am sorry 1114 and 1503).

But anyways, My point is that I feel just as sorry for the driver of team 48 as I do for team 1114.
