I love your signature nukemknight. Last year in the end-of-year invitational we were up against a poorly balanced robot. They were defending us and when they went from backwards to forwards quickly their front end would lift off the ground 6-8 inches.
They did this to us several times - the end result was our bot was disabled by the end of the match - radio receiver shatter, air system destroyed, electrical board guarding broken off. And no pen given.
Please note afterwards they apologized and showed gracious professionalism in the extreme - they offered to help work on the robot, etc etc. But I enjoy the battlebot comment.
