That was 2137. It was a acceptable strategy and within the rules. It was not really a gracious profecional stratigy. However, when your in elims you do what you have to to win. The other team all happened to have less stable robots and 2137 took advantage of this. I can't begrudge them this. If you were in 2137s position would you have done this? Personally, I think they probably would have won anyway, and I would hate to be the team that ends their compitition on their side or back. Its a bummer but a part of the game and to be fair, all teams had the ability to build self righting devices for their robot during build season. I predict that at states there will be more of this attemped as lesser teams find that this is a very effective way to stop better teams from scoring (Most teams can't right themselves).

my 2 cents
