Probably best to take it to PM at this point, but I'd like to know what these were.

not including damage 4464 did to itself that 1885 helped fix during quals on Friday (though I'm admittedly going off of 2nd-hand info from your driver there).

This was damage to our roller arm incurred while playing offense, not defense, and was the result of another robot impacting us while we were lowering our roller arm in pursuit of the ball. 1885 was extremely helpful in fixing it, though, and I am grateful for it.

I'm irritated that even when damage from 2 of the hits were pretty obvious to anyone with eyes on the match due to disabled robots, you claim the damage was superficial.

I certainly have eyes, and I try my best to be aware of any robots that become disabled in matches we play in so that I can offer help. I was not aware of any significant damage we caused at DC.

Aside from this, I wish you'd be a bit less hostile. No one here wants to see damaged robots, including myself. I find it upsetting that you'd call a post specifically about avoiding hefty impacts with 6-CIM drives "glorifying linebacker-style hits" and "ignorant." I care as much as you do about this game being fun and fair for everyone involved, and I even admitted in my post that I would not be surprised or upset if the motor budget were reduced. Please don't treat me as a strawman for your frustrations about the nature of the game this year.
