The first thing we after getting the robot back to our pit is try to identify what broke, usually the bearings were popping out. Then we attempt to fix the problem usually by wedging a piece of wood and thin strips of metal against the bearings. Then the battery gets replaced with the one we had charging. Then we pull the harpoon up, and build up some pneumatic pressure. At this point, they have already made the final call for our robot, so we begin the 60 yard dash to the line, where we continue to try to fix anything broken.
