This was not an intentional move.

Hey, we were in that match. Our alliance partner was about to mow their arm over, which would have been faster than what we did but I didn't want to break 1717's bot even though they weren't on our alliance. I ever so lovingly "convinced"

our alliance partners to take some time and push on their drive train instead. Eh, we lost the match due to lost time and were no longer undefeated. To be honest I was just glad we were hurdling after the rocky season we've had. 1717 went on to be 2nd seed and made it to the Galileo finals after that.

Thank you for being sensitive of potential damage to our robot. Our fall was in absolutely no way intentional, but we do appreciate the way in which the other teams took it in stride, and continued to treat every robot and team with respect, especially in some of their most nerve-wracking moments. Thanks to your team's conscious efforts to avoid damage, or robot came up nearly intact.
