Thanks, Robotmmm. We felt really weird and conflicted about the whole situation. Being the first backup team, our role was to sit in the stands, cheer for the other teams, and hope like heck someone's robot broke It just didn't strike us as really GP

Seriously, though, we got the official notice with about 84 seconds left on the clock. The pit & drive team did a bumper color change, robot boot-up, driver's station boot-up (longer), and dash to the field to get the robot on the carpet and in position with about 15 seconds or so remaining of the time-out. I was impressed.
