that moment when your autonomous is supposed to flip a cap and park and instead it picks up a ball, fires it at the spectators, and then crosses the auto line.

Also, that moment when the refs tell you that your team is the only team that has disconnected on field 1, but you know everyone else has, and then they mysteriously don’t use field 1 for elims

Yea that was an L that nobody asked for. I believe you guys seriously had a good shot, but because of the questionable consistency of the V5 system it’s quite annoying.

I once dropped my robot during CREATE US OPEN during nbn year :smiley:
Also, that’s relatable too. I got two chargers and received one battery as well, but eventually the rest came.

Considering the chances that someone will win autonomous is very likely, you would’ve been able to subtract 4 points from the opponents score then add 4 points to your alliance.
