Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?
I think our second robot counts

We designed both robots to be modular, so the shooter, intake, and cheval wedges can be swapped as part of withholding allowance. By postseason (we were registered at Beantown Blitz) we really wanted our second robot to be able to compete as well and this was the result:

Here you can see:
- stapled bumpers
- ziptie- and duct tape-based intake
- wooden shooter (needless to say it didn't last very long)
- PVC tube boulder blocker complete with transparent packing tape.
Thus the second robot was aptly renamed "Jankosaurus Rex"
Nevertheless our team had a lot of fun putting it together in just a few team meetings before Blitz
