Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?

I was going to say "What is the most MacGyver'd thing you've seen on a robot?" but I have a feeling most of the posters on here wouldn't know what I was talking about

A lot of stuff gets 'MacGyver'd' the last night of build or between matches when you just need to get something to work in a very short amount of time. Sometimes it works so well it gets left alone

Just remember even people who hold an A&P license now had to get a start somewhere, learning how to work on something when they were younger. When you look back someday at stuff you built in the beginning you'll wonder why you did that (really?! is that what I thought was good?!?! ) but at the time you were just proud you did that AND made it WORK at that time!!!

Knowledge, and refinement, comes with experience
