Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?
At an off-season several years ago we had a motor sticking out the side of the robot's superstructure with wires in danger of being damaged by contacting other robots. After trying and failing to fashion a wire guard out of polycarb, we pulled an empty plastic soda bottle out of the trash, cut off the top, and zip-tied it around the end of the motor.
I have seen aluminum ladders cut into short sections and used as robot frame pieces.
I don't know what category I'd put this one in: a rookie team at the 2014 Arkansas Regional used a mannequin leg as a kicker for Aerial Assist. They also had a lampshade they put over the top of the robot.
