I had always hoped to go head-to-head with 71 to see if they could move us without ripping a hole in the carpet underneath one/both of our robots, but we never met up on the field.
The only way to move the goals 190 hung onto was to literally rip the robot in half. Didn't that happen at Battlecry that year?
