The 1251, 1626, 1758 alliance later went on to the Finals in which our unfortunate incedent was an overly loose turret chain, when drilling into it to fix it after Finals match 1, some aluminum shavings accidently fell onto our control board, giving us all kinds of crazy controller errors for Finals match 2.
In Palmetto 2008, one of the banebot motors that drives our elevator became loose in its planetary gearbox and proceeded to bind in SF match 2, we tried to fix it during our time out (i was 1 win apiece for red and blue alliance) and the bolt holding the gearbox down seized and prevented us from fixing it for our last finals match, perhaps causing us the win
