How'd they do during the rest of the competition?

We went to four matches in the quarter finals but were knocked out.

A team at SBPLI Regional approached us to do it to a team there, but something happened and we didn't have a chance to do it. We decided to use it agains 177 however.

Also I'd like to add that 177 really recovered and pushed the loose balls to their human player.

Also, I noticed after that match 177 really made sure this didn't happen again - the drivers would keep the nets closed until a second or two before the balls dropped. Good job guys.

We decided to drop it because we weren't sure if some of the balls would hit us, then we would be blocking them from falling in - which is against the rules I believe (I'm not positive about that however).
