Re: 2007 Buckeye Regional
Team 63 played was scheduled to play with us (1714) in our last match on Friday (1714). We knew they had a yellow card from the field (for aggressive play I believe?), but when we went to strategize with them, they told us they had received a second yellow card after two random inspections and had been booted from the competition. There seemed to be a lot of confusion in and around their pit. Their robot was a double lifter robot that stayed folded up. If something got bent and was out of place for a few matches in the starting configuration, thats one thing. I didn't see too many places that robot could be bent though. They had passed inspection and I'm not sure what the random inspections were being used to check.
After they told us they were out, we prepared for a 2v3 match. When we were out on the field queuing, they came out with 2 matches to go and said they were being allowed to play, but weren't entirely sure what was going on. They played with us and played excellent defense to get us a win.
The next morning they played with my other team, 1675, and everything seemed to be well.
Thats all I know of the situation, and its just from an outsider's brief point of view....so I have no idea if any of that is accurate.

..this is the first robot we've built that succeeded at everything we wanted it to. It was simple. It was low maintenance. It scored effectively. It had an autonomous that worked. Its look caught attention. And it was finished on schedule. - Donut [more]
