In the last part of the match, SPAM (180) lost one of their treads on their drivetrain, yet still managed to win the match .. very impressive.

For team 180, the best robot matches that we played in were against 1114. We had the (mis)fortune to play against them four times on Saturday (one qualifying, three elimination). Those were an amazing set of matches. We won one, lost three and the three losses were all due to 1114 finally breaking free and shooting 15-30 balls near the end. We won QF1-2 with 1305 and 358 because all three of us got on to the ramp for the 25 point bonus. 180 got up with one tread missing. We also played QF1-3 without that tread. Thankfully, we have four treads on our robot instead of two so we suffer from reduced traction and manuverability instead of being completely incompacitated if we lose one.
