It was the result of too much speed on the down side of the bump, and another robot would have to be pushing us from behind on the down side of the bump, which would be both difficult and penalized. Any contact from in front of us would only make it less likely. We don't foresee this ever happening again.

Good to hear. Excellent job at the event, you guys are going to rock North Star. Way to show how a line of code can fix almost anything
