That happened to us in St. Louis. We were playing midfield, and during autonomous our alliance member kicked a ball right into our hanger - the impact was big enough to cause it to become unlatched, and the gas spring sent the whole thing up... and slightly out of our frame perimeter. Our drive team handled it great, and played a very laid back game that time with no robot-robot interaction. We were not penalized.
