Way way back when alliances were really new, you had to lift kick balls into a trough made of steel tube. So we had a multi-jointed arm and were trying out a chassis made of bent sheet, so it was mostly flat on top. The arm sort of folded up and part rested on top of the robot. Unfortunately we rushed out one round and our battery cable was up there as well. So the match starts, we start to deploy our arm, and about 2 seconds later, we're sitting there, having disconnected our own battery.
