Too bad theirs and 665's comms cut out in QFs.
If the regional ever gets archived, look up Match #72.

I'm going to have to disagree. If my wheels were touching, I could bet that we would be able to get out of the pin. Earlier in the day the same pin happened, but at least our wheels were touching. I managed to get out the pin with some pushing and careful turning. maybe the robot doing the pin was lacking, but unless our wheels arent touching, I wouldn't say theres nothing we can do. =)
