[Alex Salomonsky]

My worst experience was during the 2003 season when our team didn't have a good scale to weigh the robot, so the chairmen, a teacher and I went to the boys lockerroom and asked if we could borrow the scale they used to weigh wrestlers ( it was the only scale available at the time). The allowed us to use it, but of course, a bot can't fit on that scale, so they said, hey Alex you're strong, we'll weigh you then you pick the bot up and we'll subtract your weight from the robot.

So I get on the scale then i picked the bot up by only two pieces of metal cuz they told me it was strongly bolted there, and i stood there, which sucked. The two of them took there time as i stood there dead-lifting the bot. As soon as they said the weight, on cue, obe piece slipped off cuz stupid freshies forgot to put nuts on the bolts. the nice 110 lb robot feel on my left foot and it hurt like crap. The teacher and chairmen had a nice laugh at my pain.
