I didn't see this (so much for "eyes first") but I heard from several people that our robot accidentally scored a high goal once during quals. We're not even really high goal capable but apparently during one match we were driving forward and somehow a boulder got launched at just the right angle that it arced into the goal. Total fluke. I'm sure a bunch of teams were looking over their scouting data later going "wait, what? That's not right...!"
