If they did not get stuck, the alliance of 469-2041-1114 may have won that match and even the entire competition! As much as I hate to say it because this year's game was a huge step up, it was poor planning on the GDC's part.

2041 was not trapped because the goal was too short, they got trapped because they got turned sideways. There is a small lip on the goal which is necessary to keep balls from rolling out, 2041 managed to get their one set of wheels parallel to and up against this lip in a fluke occurance.
I did not see 294 get stuck during that match (doesn't mean it didn't occur). I did see 294 purposely block the other goal, they were the opponent after all.
