Re: [DFTF] The Classic Blunder...
@ Doug G; Doug brings up a good point on making sure all nut, bolts & screws, wires, as well as rivets, chains, lexan & ANY other components attached to your robot. I run the field at Suffield Shakedown & am amazed at how much loose material is picked off the field after every match. Most teams don't even realize they are missing anything. Yesterday a team lost a whole 4" c-clamp. I instructed nobody to pick it up. Before the robots were removed from the field I made an announcement that there was a large part on the field & that it should be removed. It was removed by the team in question.
You always hear from teams, Oh, it fits in there really tight, it won't move. Trust me it will.
