Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?
We had an interesting "fix" this past weekend. During a match the sensor for our defense manipulator broke off. This sensor tells the robot where the arm is so we can go under the low bar/portcullis in autonomous mode. With no spare sensor we hot glued a limit switch to the inside of our robot, used the unused wire from the limit switches pwm cable as a string, and fastened the other end to the arm. This depressed the switch when the arm was fully down. The funny thing is that it worked for the rest of the competition.
