Although I disagree with the thread creator's diction, due to the conotations with racism and poverty, I do wish to share the"jankiest" thing that we on 2910 have done this season.

Our current robot: Lady Bertrude, had one of the shooter motors come completely off during our second to last semi final match at the Glacier Peak week 2 event. The repair consisted of wrapping "Engineering Tape" (duct tape) around it until it was reasonably secured. this allowed us to play in the last match, where the other shooter motor bent horribly to one side.

Also, during build season, we did not build a channel for the climber rope, and promptly allowed it to rest on top of our gatherer angler sprocket and chain.

These kind of jury rigs often are the result of a lack of time or budget, and really ought to be looked at more fondly than anything else, as they add character and identity to a robot, and symbolize creative and clever design in a pinch.
