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

Not between matches, but I think the biggest fix MOE had had to do in recent memory was between the last finals match at Lenape in 2013 and the first day at Chesapeake. We went into that finals match with C clamps holding our robot together, as the welds holding the upper frame to the lower frame broke. We came to Chesapeake with a brand new welded frame and managed to move everything over in time to not miss anything.

This year we haven't really had any major issues, we had to replace a wheel due to shearing it off it's pulley as well as a failed ball shifter plunger (which JVN was gracious enough to provide 6 spares for!) on our drive. At the time we fixed it with a total gearbox swap (only 2 bolts) so that wasn't so bad. Our main source of work in the pit has been our winch which we have 2 of and can pull and swap it in no time when it has any problems.

I just have to say, this thread has been great to read.
