Re: What's the biggest fix you've had to do in between matches?

This year (for the second year in a row) we had to replace a cRIO between matches. The first time we had to do this 2 of us (me and our main electronics guy) had to replace it in 6 minutes (standard time out) between semi-finals of the 2013 North Star regional. However we weren't fast enough for our code guy to deploy code to the robot so we just sat there, but our alliance was able to carry us through. This year, the cRIO just died during practice day so we had some time to replace it, after convincing the CSA that it wasn't our fault that it died...
