I just managed to find the above collision during the qualifying rounds on video, and am stunned at the revelation of just how deceptive one's own perception is! My memory was such that I was sure that 237's robot was already fallen when we collided with it, but now upon reviewing the video, it's pretty clear that we knocked 237's robot forward into the overpass, causing it to tip! I'm sorry, 237! We definitely weren't trying to knock over your robot even though that's obviously what happened.

Clearly, your earlier comments are such that you've forgiven us. Thank you!

Three cheers for 237 and gracious professionalism!
