Have you ever spent more time in the pits at a competition and almost got left there?

Re: Have you ever....?
 

Yes! (Almost got left there... made it out, though)



Have you ever had your robot catch fire?

Re: Have you ever....?
 

No, had batteries explode near it by accident... freshmen ya know. They didn't know any better.

Have you ever cheered for another team that you weren't allied with just as loud as you cheered for your own?

Re: Have you ever....?
 

Absolutely. (I've made it to three Florida Regionals, never with a team. The hierarchy as to which alliance to root for in a given situation sort of established itself with time.)

Have you ever driven more than 600 miles for an FRC event? (I mean driving--no passenger shenanigans!)

No, but I've talked for 600 miles going to an FRC event just to keep the driver awake... don't think I'm kidding, either...

Re: Have you ever....?

Can't say that I have, actually.

Have you ever done laundry and found a completely demolished robot part in a pocket the next day?

Re: Have you ever....?
 

Why yes i have =]
Have you ever driven a robot throguh radio while not beeing in the same room the robot is, thus driving on blind?

Re: Have you ever....?
 

Yes and surprisingly I didn't break anything..I only drove the chassis around....I didn't wanna risk anymore with the arm.

Have you ever started conversations with your robot or robot parts?

Re: Have you ever....?
 

I've talked to them but they have never responded :D

Have you ever taken your bot to the playing field only to discover you forgot to put in the 12v battery :ahh:

Re: Have you ever....?
 

No, but we've freaked out at the beginning of autonomous because our driver forgot to turn the robot on...

Have you ever realized you could no longer buy icecream anywhere because all the ice cream places have closed since it's getting cold? :(

Re: Have you ever....?
 

Yes. But then most of the time I can't eat the ice cream anyway so it doesn't bother me.

Have the robot parts ever talked back to you?
