Re: Never Do This, and Other Good Ideas Gone Bad

Go to a competition without replacement parts, including an extra minibot.

At SVR this year, the small gear that controlled our who arm system snapped in two after a team hit it with their claw (accident, of course!). We had no other gear to replace it with, and spent the remainder of the competition playing defense (which we weren't that bad at).

Also, our minibot got executed. During yet another collision, our minibot somehow fell off our robot, got stuck under our wheels, and got half torn apart by us. Then, once we got off, the other teams, including our alliance, ended up running it over 1 way or another (again, all accidents)!

To anyone who attended SVR this last season, if you found a neodymium magnet attached to you your robot somewhere, and you went against 256 in a match, can we have it back?
