Re: Most Unfortunate Incedents

Our team has started a new trend of building robots that don't listen to what we tell them. At three of our last four competitions (07 Atlanta FTC, 08 Arizona FTC, and 08 Arizona FRC) the robot sat still for more than half the time. It's been rather frustrating...

One I remember from 2006: we were in the semis in Sacramento and we were having drivetrain problems. We had just barely squeaked by in our last match, having lost one of our treads. We rivet a new one on and hope for the best; then they both fall off in the next match. Scrambling for time, we repair both of the wheels and put the robot back on the field for our third semi-final match, only to realize we forgot to put the chain back on one side of the drive.

(852 and 1662 were amazing alliance partners, we managed to pull off a win in the finals!)
