About the power switches: In Waterford District (I think anyways) The Captains (i think) had their power switch at the top front of their robot. When they went to get a ball under the bridge, we started to balance and we hit their power switch on the robot and turned them off

And anyways, for us, the worst experience was our whole 2013 year (Okay, it wasn't *that* bad, but we could barely do anything)! Anyways, we learned a couple of things:

1. Gravity is your friend and works 100% of the time
2. Picking up frisbees from the ground is pretty hard and not worth it
3. Don't store frisbees horizontally
4. Don't make it 2wd and have 4 idling wheels
5. Make room for electronics
6. Auton is more important than you think
7. Design your robot in CAD

And many more...
