You guys hit us so hard that the goal was embedded in the front plate of our robot by a good quarter inch. It took three of us to pry it off I believe.
In the second match of the Einstein finals, SPAM beat us to the center goal and our arms missed the outer goals. We were left without any goals and that robot was not designed to do anything more than move forward fast and then move forward slow. I tried to do what I could to turn the robot and the intent was to push the goals and all robots into our endzone, but that never happened as an axle got bent as our robot got smashed against the side rail. We sat the third match as 173 and 66 finished what we had started.
Ah the good old days
