Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?

There's a running joke that a peg leg is better than a caster on an FRC robot. It's... not a joke anymore.

There was a team at Beach Blitz that lost a wheel from their (long-suffering) swerve modules. They came out for their next match or two with that module wrapped in tape--looked like gaff tape, maybe duct tape or gorilla tape.

The kicker is that their robot still drove OK with that "peg leg", continuing to play defense.
