I think the whole field was cleaned up before they even attempted moving the robots apart. After a long while of suspense, both robots came back in match no 2  |
2039 also had the banebots gearbox that powered their pickup cleaved off due to a collision and it was too long of a repair so they went into match 2 with just the 7 starting balls then played defense.
(2970=awesome rookies)

At midwest in a qualification match we had a run in with 1114, and we left with a tiny ripple in a piece of .030 lexan, and their sheet metal didnt look as pretty. That was quickly repaired even though it didnt impede functionality of anything.
Us(1625) and Wildstang learned that lesson on thursday during a practice match together, as we both left the match with matching front supports significantly bent in.
