I can shed some light on 369 and 69. 69 stopped working because their main battery became disconnected. This was not a field malfunction. 369 got one re-do because of a suspected field malfunction. During the redo, they had control issues that may or may not have been field related. The field said they never lost contact. It might have been a programming error. As the alliance captain mentor, I talked with my drive team on the field and we decided not to officially challenge the match results. Everyone in U-Hall was getting tired and we didn't want to hold up the rest of the event. Congratulations to Twisted Bots 2, Kilroy and their alliance partner (sorry I can't remember their number) for winning the Blue Division. An even bigger "congrats" to Blue Cheese, Twisted Bots and Holy Rollers for winning the Orange Division and the overall competition!

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
