Lesson for all of us: check frequently to be sure that wires are held tightly in their clamps on that power distribution block.
Even a great robot like 1114 can't score, or even avoid penalties, when it is immobilized by an electrical disconnect.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
