Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?
On 399's 2013 robot we sheared a 1/4-20 bolt that drove our disc feeder kicker mechanism at a robot demo, so we used velcro to hold zipties to hold a screw driver in its place.
5012's offseason rebuild 2014 - in our first match at Chezy Champs, a collision with a partner shattered our MDF intake jaws. We spent the entire weekend rebuilding the jaw with whatever parts we could scrape together with materials from 399, 1678, 8, and 5136. We arrived in San Jose with this, and left with this monstrosity constructed from 399's spare catapult cradle, fiberglass rod, surgical tubing, and string. For our next offseason events, we rebuilt it out of 1/4" aluminum and lexan.
