Re: Most damage sustained

Our frame last year sustained damage, not because I accidently ran it into the wall at full speed multiple times because I got distracted watching our ball, but because we put so much power into our mecanums that the forces made our frame start to fail in a couple places

We put in 1/8" aluminum L-channel in and even that warped (in just practice where we were not running into things!)

In 2012, we had a similar problem as the one team that had their whole shooter tower fall off. Our welds broke and we couldn't shoot, but a couple of screws and braces fixed that.

Also in 2012, we were going onto the bridge and another team (I think the martians, but I cannot remember) was getting balls from under the bridge, and we accidently when under the bridge, pushing it down on their robot, and hitting their power switch. I felt really bad afterwards, but also got a good laugh out of it too! What are the chances?
