Unfortunatly, our wheels were on the mesh, and they had gotten there slightly before us and had the sticky top to sit on. Our wheels spun, and they won the match.
Frank,

That was a neat match. If you remember, once driver mode started, a lot of the bins came your way. This was due to a feature we have that we only needed when we were up against you and the bins. Our arm assembly actually pushes out and then upward about 4-1/2" by pnuematic cylinders. This allowed us to flip them over the top of your robot.

Thanks for the kind words! St. Louis was fun.
