Re: pic: CRT 306 hacksaw

hehhe, nice. I love it when teams don't have the right tool or part when they need it, and then come up with some great solution to stand in.

I remember a team with a flipper bot at the Denver Regional and they were placing the bot on the field when a pneumatic piston fell off. This is with about 20 seconds to get their bot on the field, and they didn't have any of their tools or equipment nearby. One quick-thinking student yanked the shoelaces from his shoe, and then the team quickly tied the things around the piston and the support that it fell off of. All with about 5 seconds to spare. The cool part, was that the makeshift repair ended working just fine.

I think it's just great when people are using their brains and coming up with cool stuff like this
