But to echo what Kevin is saying, please don't make this bigger then it has to be. What's done is done, and now it's time to focus on the post season.
I don’t think bumpers played a role. The 1270 robot is only 4½ in. off the ground. The Beast seems quite a bit higher and top heavy. What I heard from those on the floor is that the Beast drove up onto the Red Dragon and was flipped over as the Red Dragon drove forward to hang the ringer. I would still like to see some video just to make sure.

I agree, we should not make a big deal of this--even if it cost 330, 910, and 1270 a run at the world championship. It’s only a game. By the way, does anyone have the name of the official that made the call?
