We instituted a mental checklist after our first 2 matches (luckily only practice) in St. Louis because we realized we were sending the with a dead main battery, dead backup batteries on the OI, pins that need to be pulled before the match were not pulled, which led to complete disaster our first 2 matches, and than when we fixed the simple problems, are planetary gears decide not to work right and break on us which wasn't fixed until the middle of day 2, and this problem would have been diagnosed if we weren't too busy running around for batteries
. In Detroit before each match I spent about 2 minutes checking the robot and our robot went on without a hitch...
