Re: The Most Spectacular Falls of 2010

There was one robot at Kettering that had this flimsy arm that would sometimes fall off if it didn't catch the tower when it unfolded. That was funny.

We were playing against 548 and they tried to push us but then flipped onto their side, driving in circles since they were resting on one pair of wheels and a bumper. They righted themselves, and came to play more defense against us. Then the 20 second sound was played and we began unfolding our arm. They drove over a bump and landed on their back, rolling around. We hit them with our arm while attempting to grab the tower, and they rolled around some more.
