Re: Worst Moments in Team History
From a robot perspective, the saddest thing to happen to us in team history was probably in Rack and Roll when one of our BaneBots gearboxes (loaded with two CIM's each) in a defensive robot were completely destroyed. The bad thing about this was that it happened at the second match of the Waterloo finals (the first of which we had won). The sad part was that our alliance partners had amazing robots and they wouldn't let us switch out...
The team however took away from this the lessons of prototyping and robust design; this year we designed a system where we could rip out an entire drive module and replace it in about 3 minutes.
