was the penalty called at all? anywhere?

It wasn't tipping or damage, but we called a DQ against team 360 in Portland, for an unfortuneate entanglement. It was not intentional, but it was definitely damaging to their opponent. 360 was the #1 seed at the time, btw.

Also, with the leadership of Eric Stokely and Paul Roush, I NEVER heard any complaining from team 360 about this. They actually felt guilty that their robot could entangle another one, even if they did not mean to. 360 is a class act.
