At UTC, from the comments my team members were making (I hang out in the pits), our robot was the only one to successfully get a robot + stretcher into the endzone across the bridge. I personally saw two successful attempts with a stretcher only.

Calling up 12 teams at a time made for a number of cases where 3 or more of the matches for a team are clustered almost back to back. Given the short turn-around time it makes it difficult to service a broken robot. We had an instance when we were still on stage for a match when we were called up on-deck for the next series of matches. We have a fairly simple robot this year, but it was all to easy for me to envision cases of breaking something and resorting to a stretcher due to a lack of time between matches.

: : Raul,

: : I flew in from Japan on Friday evening (Don't you just hate it when work gets in the way of playing with robots?) so I can only talk to Saturday's matches at UTC.
: There was a stretcher used. I can't remember the team # that used it (or the match number), but during the match (which we were in), it was used successfully.

: : I never saw a stretcher used on Saturday and I am positive that no coupons were used in the finals. I understand that at least one team successfully scored a bot on a stretcher on Friday. In general, stretcher use was rare.
