I've seen this several times -- once a driver nearly broke their own arm trying to right an opponent. GP at its finest.

A related anecdote from FTC, where the matches are two on two. An alliance had a disqualified robot, so the other robot was going to play 1 on 2. The single robot then got hung up in an almost impossible way on a game piece during autonomous, which meant that the entire teleop period was going to be two on none. I believe the two-working-robot alliance were all rookies. For the first part of the match the two bots worked on scoring while quite a few people were yelling "knock them off," and the poor stranded robot tried to break free. Eventually, one of the 2-robot alliance nudged the single robot off the game piece and the crowd cheered for them. I think the drivers learned something about what GP means in FIRST. It was a great little moment (even if the single robot was my son's team...).
