Re: Nightmare Repairs At Competition

In 2011, our head programmer decided to build a new electronics board as a part of our 30lbs withholding allowance. It was a wonderfully compact design, and we were excited to put it on the robot at conpetition. However, he forgot to account for a pneumatic cylinder that was placed smack in the middle of where he planned to put the new board, so we spent our entire first day in Toronto fractically building a new one, and much of the next day trying to make everything work the way it did before we bagged the robot. We went on to win the regional with 1114 and 1503.
