Re: Nightmare Repairs At Competition

I don't have the video link handy, but at the 2013 MAR CMP, Team 75 was at the 30 point level...and fell off. The robot turned exactly upside down when it hit. Bounced a few inches, then fell over.

The entire crowd went Then silence for a few seconds. During a match.

Back at the pits, virtually every team was there asking if they could help. A sawzall was found to cut the 1/2" tool-steel shaft that was bent into a U away so they could get at the damage.

Long story short (They'll have to tell you the long version) with a lot of help from several teams, they made it onto the field for their next match, 100% repaired. The crowd went wild.
