Has this ever happened before?

I've been seeing a lot of heated discussion on these forums lately, so I thought I'd lighten it up a little bit with this amusing story from the Newton Finals.

Our team has two ramps, and when lifted they are pretty much even with the top level of electronics, as seen here. The main breaker switch is very close to the edge of the ramps.

We had no problems with this setup until the second match of the Newton Finals. Team 1592 and their big wheels drove up our ramps at the end of the match. There was one unfortunate side-effect: They turned us off! Their robot drove on the main breaker switch and we lost power, but as intended, the pneumatics kept on lifting. The IFI rep at the field found it very amusing and said he had never seen it before. It was a funny end to a great day of matches on Newton.
