Re: Things you only do ONCE!

67. Neglect to load game pieces into a robot before a match for autonomous.
68. Test new motors before making sure the potentiometer is set, causing your mechanism to run full speed into a hard stop, crushing the gears inside the gearboxes...
69. Testing to see if your robot can climb to level 3 when you've already been told it cannot...

This is where you find a really good use for blue/red and white duct tape. Especially when you're queuing for a match.
