Having been pushed off the bar twice at Chicago, we have made a minor mod that will prevent it from happening again. Yes, we feel we should have gotten a one of the 'Best Play' trophies, since it was our robot that did the flip.

Warning to all... simple hooks are not good enough. We raised 25 inches off the ramp and were pushed off. We stayed 1 inch off the ramp and were pushed off.

The refs allow it all. I thought it was like the puck last year, if you are on the ramp or on the bar anything goes. You are trying to lower your opponents score by pushing them off the ramp or bar, right?

We have humbly learned our lesson.

Scott
