Re: What are some of your rookie/silly mistakes?

First time (for me) at World Championships last year... went to go get lunch, walked all the way over to Subway and got stuck there for an hour. I had to sprint a few blocks to make it back to the dome for our match (which was almost right after lunch).

I think I waited in line for an hour for a 6-inch sandwich (by that time they were limiting everybody to a single sandwich).

Also, mistake my first year in FRC. We built a nice swerve drive, and everything was mechanically perfect. Except for an optical encoder that was slightly out of position. We didn't catch it until the end of our first regional.

Dead. Last.

I still remember our team's cheers when we scored a single tube at North Star. Oh, the joy.
