This whole thread is reminiscent of ESPN's "Jacked Up" segment back in the day...and I miss that. At least back then, some people were getting seriously injured. Here, it's just robots.
One of my memories was back in 2004 (on 45) at Great Lakes Regional. Our gripper fell off of our arm in (I believe) the quarterfinals.
I'm somewhere in there helping the kid on the shoulders of the other one stay up there. I'd love to see a team do this without getting called out by a safety adviser these days.
This thread has some details about what happened:
