In 2002, 190's robot had a removable box that contained all of the necessary components to be considered a "robot" (the definition back then was only that it had to contain a minimum amount of electronics and be able to communicate with the field). It was velcroed into the chassis.

During the team's first several matches at Granite State that year, the drivetrain wasn't working, so they just stuck the small "robot" box in the home zone and left it there. Because it qualified as a robot, it counted for the bonus at the end. They ended up winning several matches, simply because their opponents didn't notice/remember the robot was there and scoring endgame points.

190's robot that year also had the filecards like 71 used for their "doom-march", except that the WPI robot drove to their final spot on wheels and then dropped them to stay put, making them effectively immovable. At the end of championships, 190 challenged 71 to a pushing match, the quintessential immovable object vs unstoppable force. The set up the robots, 71 started walking....
