Again, our apologies to any team who had issues watching the webcast this past weekend/ is having trouble finding archived matches.

Just curious if you guys found it. No biggie if you didn't.

If footage can't be found, let me narrate that failure and its aftermath:

We were watching 514 pretty closely during that match because we were scheduled to ally with them the next day against one of the toughest alliances of quals. When their robot broke in two our hearts sunk. Not only did the superstructure fail at two hard-to-repair locations, but it mangled their band tensioner mechanism. Repairs seemed unattainable - the pits were closing immediately, and would reopen only 1/2 hour before our match. We had a chat with them about removing the superstructure and leaving a pizza box, or at least bracing it in place so their intake would work, but it definitely looked like we would be the only bot on our side who could shoot.

Cut to the next morning. In under half an hour they got that robot repaired and fully functional and we won our match. Unbelievable. Well done 514!
