I'll apologize on behalf of the team for that one. Our knocker-downer was guilty of destroying the field twice according to the FTA. Each time we hit into the opposing alliance stations with our KDer in the up position, it was perfectly aligned so that it managed to rip out the wiring on the other side. One more errant slam into the wall and we would have been guilty of canceling the entire regional, since they ran out of the spare wires to keep fixing the field with. That also explains to the scouts why we stopped using our knocker-downer in hybrid mode....it was working just a bit too well for our own good.
