Re: What was your teams worst expierence during competition?

This wasn't really the worst thing that happened to our team, but it did come at a poor time.
In the Cowtown Throwdown's Semifinals this year(first game of two) we were supposed to have the single feeding station for our robot. Our human player didn't get the message in time though and ended up at the double station. When I lined up the robot at the single station, he ran over to go feed the disks in there (colored disks though, so the other person couldn't have fed).
While he did that I had been notified of the mixup, and started to drive over to the double station. We went back and forth with me being told to go to one side or the other and the human player yelling, "Make up your minds!" until finally one of the belts had a disk slide on top of it during a turn. Moving forward brought the disk underneath the wheel and dislodged the belt.
It's the most frustrating feeling when you can't get your robot to move as a driver, but the circumstances meant our drive team couldn't help but laugh a little bit.
