This kinda ticked me off because Buzz didn't even use their arm to flip Truck Town. What happened was-

Truck Town was guarding a stack of about 4, and Buzz was pushing them, trying to knock over the stack. Then both robots leaned up on eachother, and Buzz fell down under Truck Town. They proceeded to push Truck Town through the stack, knocking it down. Truck Town's arms prevented them from flipping, as there were bins right under the arms. They never completely flipped over, but the refs disqualified us... It ended up 10-0..


P.S- It took the refs about 10 mins to decide if it was intentional tipping or not, so it wasn't a definite yes or no..

Yeah, from where I was driving I couldnt see what was going on, and I was concerned with watching our own robot. I guess it may have been a bad call, but you ended up winning anyway, so I guess it doesnt matter. Good Match though, I did go away from that thinking that we were beat by a superior alliance.
