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.
I've heard rumors that 1717 made LA finals in 2012 with 3 swerve modules operational(they didn't have time to replace the module until the break between SF and F).
