Re: Most Unfortunate Incidents
2007- In Milwaukee, or Cleveland, our programmer programed the robot to go forward for five seconds........and forgot the STOP. Thus in autonomous mode the robot goes full speed all the way across the field, crashes into the wall wheels still spinning, and we're DQed for the rest of the match.
2007- In Atlanta, we were trying to get up on team 694 ramps with about 20 seconds left to go in that match. We try getting on twice, but get hooked on the railing on the side of the ramp both times. About five seconds to go, we get about half way on, balanced on the side ramp. The match ends, the robots turn off, and our robot tips over crashing to the ground. The picture of our drivers trying to "save" the robot ended up in the FIRST intro video under Your FIRST Challenge. ^_^ that was pretty awesome. The video that I got as media, of the robot falling shakes because I'm jumping up and down screaming "NO!" at the top of my lungs.
