The worst damage that I can remember 330 taking was in 2004. It wasn't from falling off the bar, either. It was the next match, when we drove our own lift down when it was already down all the way. Broken cable and bent lift resulted. We got it fixed in time for our next match. And yes, we did get into it with other robots a bit.
