Re: Enough buying talk. Let's hear about ghettofab!

In 2005, team 1318 had a problem while using the autoloaders. The refs were enforcing the rule that you actually had to be touching the triangle on the ground to grab a tetra, and although our chassis was easily over it, our wheels sometimes weren't far enough forward to be on the triangle when we grabbed the tetra. Luckily we weren't penalized for this the match it happened, but the refs warned us we had better fix the problem. Our solution was to hang zipties off the front of our chassis, so they would brush against the ground. Oh well, it worked.
