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

It's definitely not the MOST ghetto thing I've ever seen on a robot, but it's probably the most ghetto thing that I have personally done.

Once when I was putting the robot on the field, I noticed one of the battery terminals had come unscrewed. We didn't have any extra batteries on the cart, and there wasn't enough time to run back to the pit to get a new battery. Luckily, I had a small zip-tie in my pocket, which I used to hold the Anderson connector onto the battery terminal. I wasn't really expecting it to work, but it did for one match until we could get back to the pit and replace it.
