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

Rookie year 2008 Overdrive...

So...imagine...here we are, very first practice match FRC Overdrive. 25 PantherBots screaming in joy as their robot takes off and does its 'drive straight, turn left' routine. Make it through the match and the refs disable the bots...

Two student drivers and the robot coach (an actual team coach/mentor) go out on the field to get their bot...as the students are carrying the robot off the field a referee walks over to the robo coach with a double-handful of nuts and bolts and says, 'I think you lost these...' *robo coach accepts offering of bolts, picks one randomly, hands it back to the ref and says* "No, this one isn't ours..."

Needless to say we haven't forgotten the Lock-tite or nylocks since...
