Maybe, maybe not... Perhaps another robot rammed them into the pyramid...

It says it right under the picture. He was quoting the OP.

The shape of the bend shows that maybe another robot rammed them into the pyramid.

That robot in the back could probably have done it, just by ramming. All you need is for the impact point to be on the low side of the frame rather than the high side.

And remember, the picture description says it was another robot. If that's how 228 looked, I'm not sure I want to see how the other robot came out...

We had a smiliar problem with our robot, during the Dallas Regional, we crashed against the pyramid base several times,when the regional was over we removed the bumpers and found some serious damage to de back of the frame.



For the Championship we made a replacement part and changed it, we had a hard time reparing the damage because all the frame was bent and aligning the holes wasnt easy.

After seeing this picture I'm surprised that the alliance that we played against (1058 and 228 were alliance partners) moved on to the finals with no robot injuries. It had to either be 121, 126, or 1519, but I distinctly remember not seeing any problems with those robots.
