2015 recycle rush. Needed to spring load some clips that we're supposed to pick up totes by the handles during our second district competition. The only thing we had were hair ties from the girls on the team. Our running joke is that hair ties got us to Worlds.
Hair ties of various types are a continual sight on our robots: 2014 to retract the shooter after firing, 2015 to hold our sponsor panels on, and 2016 tbd
