Scariest Moments, well! I can relate to these. Lets see, At Regionals, one would be going into our frist match, not testing our auto, or competing in the practice rounds, wondering what our robot would do. Needless to say tipping, was quite a scary though, and we did, darn high CG.
Two, Being the HP, doing my normal stacks, only to have them fall down, outside of the colored carpet, running back in to set them up right, and running out with about 5 second left, tripping going outside of the field, and scrambling back to our pad so our auto will work, much less our robot, which I made it back in time FHEW! I thought my team was going to kill me if I didn't make it back in time, but they were to busy laughing....
In the building process, holding our robot near the chains, telling my tem not to touch the contollers, only to have them nip them as joke, and take off the top of my knuckles, and then trying to hide it from them so they wouldn't feel bad, luckily they didn't see, but dude, when you can see your bone moving, that isn't cool, much less CALMING!
Another scary part, sitting down under a table being sick, having your friend drive the robot at the table full force, only to have it barely stopped maybe a cm away form you by the table top, THANK GOD we were a stacker...
And, just because, one of the scarist moments, was at Regionals. I was walkng outside with someone from OakRidge when they were practicing Auto, and seeing it for the first time go up the ramp in 3 seconds flat, I stopped dead and went "We have to go against them....crap...." But we won that match, pushing both them ad their alliance partner around, ^^
Along with other things, missing parts, missing told, broken wires, ect, liek at Nat's, almost not making check in...(Thankies to whatever team offerd the whole saw (sp?) even though we already had one)
