Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?
We brought our practice robot in pieces (drive base and ball manipulator) to the local library for drive practice (yes, our city library lets us drive the robot around! They're awesome!) and realized that we forgot the 3/8" spacer block for where the mechanism bolts onto the frame. The only tools we had brought were the basic ones we knew we needed to bolt the frame on, including an ample set of wrenches. Wrenches that were approximately 3/8" thick...
Fast-forward to a week or two later, and to this conversation:
Me: "I need a 3/8" wrench."
Other team member: "Uh..."
Me: *searching toolbox* "I know we have one. More than one. Where are they?"
Other team member: "Uh..."
Me: "... they're all on the robot, aren't they."
Other team member: "Yup."
That same day I also found all of our small allen keys substituting for hitch pins, holding our bumpers in place.
