Re: What is the most (SKETCHY) thing you've seen on a robot?

I have a story that probably qualifies as ghetto.

A few years ago, I was at a Regional with a large number of Rookie teams. On Friday morning, walking through the pits, I noticed one of the Rookie teams was charging their robot battery using alligator clips, while it was still plugged into the robot using the Anderson connector.

It was one of the most cringeworthy things I've ever seen at an FRC Regional. Of course, they didn't know any better, so you can't really blame them. Now, one of the first things I look at when I visit a Rookie pit, is how they're charging their batteries.
