Re: Worst Moments in Team History
I don't know about worst moment - everything has been an opportunity to grow, and thus valuable - but the toughest to swallow was the match on Saturday in Atlanta in 2006 when our radio cable fell out. In the same match, one of our partners tipped. Needless to say, we watched helplessly as we lost horribly. To make matters worse, that match dropped us from 4th to 18th. Our next one, also a loss, took us to 26th. We weren't picked for the finals.
It was a hard moment to live though, yes, but we all learned so much from it that I can hardly call it our worst moment. It made all of us stronger individually, and taught us important lessons that make us more competitive today. That match is the reason we have a checklist to ensure the robot's readiness and functionality before and after each match.
