Re: Newton Final 2: Reason for disqualification

Basically the explanations about what happened with 1592 are all correct. They didn't intentionally mean to do what they did, but it's kinda hard for the refs to read the minds of the drivers. I was on the blue alliance that was DQed... boy was it awful to know that we got DQed from the finals because of a misunderstanding. But hey, stuff happens. We still had a great time, and the alliance we lost to (177, 190, and 987) was amazing, truly deserving of the win, and went on to win on Einstein. Our team (since we were the captain of the finalist alliance on our field) even got to come with them to Einstein and lend them batteries! That was a great view. We like to joke around that without our batteries, they never would have won. Or maybe it was the triple dose of maroon?
