Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?
The dumbest thing I've done SO FAR (since I'm a freshman) happened at a festival in my home town. During the festival our team brings out all our robots to demonstrate, play around with, etc., along with a team from a nearby high school. This all takes place under one small tent.
So, the final demonstration of the day came, and I was allowed to drive the National Champion robot of 2002. Great! So I drove that and the other team drove their most recent bot to accomplish a simple task. That task I have long forgotten, but that isn't the point. Near the end I decided to wrestle with the other robot, first pushing it into a solid table,(it didn't fall) and then into a temporary pipe fence. It didn't fall either, but could've gone into the crowd. I got a pretty good word from a person on the other team.
I first didn't recognize what I had done until I had got that word, and looked at the damage, ON OUR BOT. Their bot was O.K. Ours, I don't think, is repaired to this day. Worse yet, that's the National Champion bot. OUCH!
Another thing to mention, there was a poster hanging saying, "THIS IS NOT BATTLEBOTS!"
