Tom,

It was us that came moments from pulling ourselves in between Einstein final match one and Final match 2. We stripped out the sprocket to wheel attachment on one of our middle four wheels. That basically disables that wheel, and the pivoting wheel that attaches to it. Having climbed the bump a few times at the scrimmage with not all 8 wheels being powered we felt confident we could continue playing at a high level, but left it up to the alliance captains on whether or not to pull us, or let us play. (this wheel imbalance helps explain why our auto didn't work in the last match). I'm very glad that the elected to let us play.
