Re: Newton Final 2: Reason for disqualification

as being the one that commited the crime i'll explain...

We were playing defense (not something we did much at all the entire season) and we on the opposite side of the rack. with 4 or more robots in the same area as well as the rack and tubes blocking my view myself and our arm opperator had a hard time seeing what we were doing and our arm inadvertantly hit a couple of the robots (i guess quallifying us for a yellow card). now when 987 decided to drive to our side of the field (they were our designated mark for defense) we couldn't let them keep scoring like they were (they had an awesome robot). so when we chased them around the rack, they stopped or something and the next thing i know we are underneath them and i quickly backed up, but it was too late their CG was pulling them over. Thus we were DQ'd...

Luckily nothing broke on their robot.

Hope this clearifies what happened.
