We were pitted next to you, and as soon as I saw you electrical board spark and smoke, my head just dropped. We ran over and offered another victor, but I guess you guys had spares. The way your electrical board was laid out, it made it really hard to see where the problem was coming from. I will commend you guys for actually taking it out onto the field and doing the best you could; that was impressive. You guys are a great team and had an awesome bot, sorry it didn't work out for you. I know your programmer worked really hard to get that bot going. Did you ever happen to determine what blew the victor out? One would assume it was a metal shaving, but it was strange how it worked out; drivetrain was running fine and all of a sudden *poof*

I'm going to make a topic in the thank you section in a little bit that I'd like all the teams at Sac (who read CD) to see .. It'd be much appreciated - Thanks
