Haha I remember that. I think we were up next so was able to get a good view of it. And someone on our team brought up that incident on Saturday. Anyways...

with 6 robots on the field, If there are a few that are hurdlers and some who just try to race around the track, I expect to see a lot of congestion. Hopefully the hurdlers have a low enough center of gravity that if they are hit at high speed, they wont hit the overpass and tip over.
