Here's the quick answer: We missed, and got kind of lucky.

For some reason, our robot over shot its second turn a bunch in that match either due to miscalibration (yuck 775 case shorts) or the fact that we smacked into another robot first. We had a safety in the code that would release the tube at full speed at 14.75 seconds into the match, and that caused the toss. Realistically this mode should have looked more like what team 33 or 148 did. I'm not complaining though.
