I certainly saw that shot and block -- it's probably the one to which I referred in the last post -- I didn't realize they called a G42 on it. (You'd think as the scorekeeper I would know, wouldn't you?) That same bot used the interfere-subtly-with-the-hurdlers technique throughout the later matches of qualifying. It worked pretty well, and I don't think it drew many penalties.
