Very rough defense was played by us as well. Both alliances were struggling in the finals to keep running. We had the battery cable yanked out in one of the matches. I want to congratulate teams 118, 476 and 1754 on their great work and we hope to see them at nationals.

I am on 118 and I am pretty sure that no one on our alliance purposely knocked off the Brazilian teams tread. It was from playing defense and trying to prevent them from scoring. There was no intent to take the Brazilian team "out of the fight" and make their robot not function as well.
