Re: Most Unfortunate Incedents

2001: Finished 9th in galileo, didn't get picked

2002: Finals of mid-atlantic regional....our ball dumping basket was up getting ready to drop a load of balls into one of the goals 25 was grasping, and all of a sudden SLAM a cable snapped, we lost by a few points

2004: At PARC our robot decided to write its own auto mode, which deployed our pneumatic pistosn used to lift our robot off the groudn (200+ pounds of force) directly into the pneumatic tanks.....thankfully they only got dented

2005: Quarterfinals of NJ regional match #3, with only 3-4 seconds left I was driving the bot back towards the home zone to hopefully get the bonus 10 points...the arm didn't collapse all the way for some reason so we drove in to the wall hoping it would fold itself back up, and it didn't, i tried to turn aroudn and back in, but time expried

2006: Quarterfinals of Boston, our skyway wheel hub sheared itself off of the rest of the wheel...we hobbled along on 3 wheels trying to keep the other robots off of the ramp, however we were unable to move and 578 got up the ramp with literally no time left

2007: Had one of the best tube scoring averages on archimedes, somehow we got skipped for finals

2008: Our robot arrived a full 8 hours late on thursday, giving us a late start on work that would have taken all day thursday to complete anyway....we weren't fully running until saturday, where we lost in the semis to the dominant 39.


There is always a story to be told.
