Bill,
In fact, if you notice where the goal was when it was dropped off, it could not have tipped the bridge the way it did.
Look at the film again carefully. You will see that what caused our robot to buckle up and tip the bridge was team 66 driving over our ramp which was accidentally raised by our operator.
792 = 720 + 10% bonus, right?

: Ok, so I exaggerated a bit. But how about a 792? That last 8 points is tough! I think it can and will happen soon.
: BTW. One of my guys said that you mentioned that you lost that last goal because of operator error. Are you sure it wasn't just an out of balance condition? I have a tape that clearly shows the bridge lifting your bot up off of the ground. It doesn't show what is happening to cause it, but at that point there is definitely a severe out of balance condition. I can send you a copy if it would help.
: And yes. You definitely gave us a scare! As you know, it is extremely uncomfortable to be in a do or die position.
: Regards,
: Mr Bill
