Once again I am left off the mailing list for the armchair physicists club and frankly I am offended.

However this pales in comparison to no one notifying me of this convention of the armchair zebra club. Thanks for setting the record straight.

I hope Andrew can remind his team of the rule you all cited. 125 clearly committed a G11 in this match and should have received a yellow card. They intentionally built their robot in a 22"x24"x13" configuration under 100 pounds so the strong independent toasters of New England could be trapped into tipping their robot and get themselves kicked out of eliminations.

The only question I have is, when did 125 decide to flip themselves over to trap 2262? Was it after the first, second, third, or fourth hit?

It's pretty clear that the fix was in for 125 to win the whole event for a fourth year in a row.

I don't know what you're trying to say. No on is accusing 125 of trying to intentionally cause other teams to violate g24. You can call it a 3rd or 4th hit if you want but when you watch it in real time it very quickly and looks like one engagement. Our main issue with what happened is that we did not intentionally tip 125 but we were penalized that way.

No one was claiming G11 or a fix, so really what is the point you are making?
