Re: Most Unfortunate Incedents

2003 - Stack Attack - While in autonomous mode our robot goes up the ramp to knock the totes down. One tote falls on our robot corner first and happens to find the baseball sized opening in our polycarb for reaching the main breaker. The polycarb deflects just enough to allow the tote to trip the breaker and end our match prematurely.

2007 - Rack n' Roll - In the semifinals of the Galileo division one of our alliance partners is pushed into the rack causing them to de-score a ring. We still would have won despite the penalty but at the last second, after both alliance partners had been lifted by our robot one of the operators nudged the controls and rolled off our robot costing us 30 points, the match and a chance to advance to the finals.

Such is life in the fast-paced, laugh-in-the-face-of-adversity, never-let-them-see-you-sweat, sometimes-you're-the-windshield-sometimes-you're-the-bug world of FIRST Robotics!
