Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've seen on a robot?
Today, at Mission Mayhem, was full of plenty of ghetto moments I thought I'd share.
1: we have wedges on the front of our robot that we put down to let us get over the Cheval de Frise, and a 3/4 inch aluminum Stock connecting that to a cylinder. We sheared the 3/4 in half and I was running around trying to find a pencil or something to fix it with; 179 luckily gave us a pencil, it worked for a little bit but broke the next match. We ended up taking apart our standard and ziptying the rod to the 3/4 to keep it straight. It worked very well
2: both 1523 and 1524 were having drive train issues all day, at the end we realized 1523 was missing a spacer in the gearbox. We ended up using a zip tie to keep the gears in place. It worked very well until .6 seconds into our first Quarterfinal match when the other gear box blew apart.
We feel really bad about choosing 1251 and 59 and then dying, but they were really good sports about it, and we actually won our second quarterfinal match (without 1523) against 2383 and 3653 by 2 points.
And our intake fell apart, but we didn't bother to botch it because it broke in our first quarterfinal match.
