Oh, so that's what happened. Always been curious about that. I also believe that's the last time 1114 and 67 have been on an elimination alliance together.

Whole story is slightly more involved. Bad battery meant twitchy lost match and frantic trouble shooting serial connections and whatnot. Time was up when I realized it was just the battery, didn't ask for a timeout and sent the bot out without a bumper. Turns out the "battery strap" we had a mentor buy was a 1/2" wide elastic velcro strap. Bumper was the only thing holding the battery in. Opponent hits us, battery flies out, second lost match completes the most embarrassing day of my FRC career. Only good thing is I have a remarkably concise story of SO many mistakes people shouldn't make. |
