Re: Nightmare Repairs At Competition

2012 Israel Regional. We get to the venue early in the morning of practice day with high spirits, take our robot to the boxs, try and get it in, and oops, doesn't fit. It was a tiny bit too wide.
Our drive had a KOP frame base, so what we did was take the outer c-channels out, cut their corners, and put them back in the opposite direction (with the open side pointing out) so the axle bolts' heads won't stick out.
Doesn't sound like much but it took us the whole day to do, and made an already ugly bot a lot uglier...
No one's proud of that year. Fortunately we compensated that this year when we bearly did any work on the robot
