I GTR this year we made it to the finals and won our first match against 1114, only to have our robot break down. After calling a timeout our alliance partner 188 was 5 seconds late to the field and couldn't play in the 2nd match.
Finally, in the 3rd match with about 10 seconds left we we're leading but they shot a super cell which bounced off a robot and into our trailer with a final score of 97-90 for them.
I'd Call THAT unfortunate. But it was still lots of fun and full of gracious professionalism.
There were a couple other parts to this story that I left out and can be found
