Bad webcast-capture, but it gets the point across.



It's not apparent in the video, but all 4 of our wheels are off the ground. That was actually a good thing, since the autonomous code kept running the wheels for a few seconds longer.

In all honesty, 2106 (or whoever tipped us) really shouldn't have been DQed. We were stuck, and the only way down was... down. If they didn't push us, the swinging of the spiders would have knocked us over anyways. It's actually rather beautiful how we were right at the tipping point yet we didn't go over.

That, and we proved to the world how strong the rack actually is.

Heres a pic I got of 401. The back of their frame is on the ground, but none of the wheels. (I cropped and zoomed in)

My bad. I'm pretty sure it was 21-something though.

It was a ramp bot that looked like a bulldozer. Whatever the case, it's irrelevant now. VCU is long over and we won the match anyways.
