In fact the only saving grace of the winning alliance was that they failed to remove their second trackball from the overpass, despite multiple attempts. This was by far the strangest match I have ever seen.

Wow, I have yet to witness such crazy matches. The worst (or should I say strangest) match for me was where in a practice match, 2261's robot (frontal steering) was stuck turning left and went back and forth until they crossed their own finish line. Technically, they should have recieved over 8 <G22>s but for some reason the ref's only counted one. The fact that they managed to make it across after so many back and forth movements was pretty funny.
