yeah our team had 2 mistakes over the past week, someone (we don't know who) zip-tied the wires on our forklift motors to the forklift so as it lifted it ripped them out damaging the motor so it had to be replaced.
To follow that up, I used too much solder on the connections for our new motor, so that it touched the motor, connecting our chassis to the electrical system, never a good thing. We have since removed the extra solder, and fixed those problems, but we all definitely learned some lessons from that.
And back in february we were practicing at Saint Francis HS when we left our tether cable in prior to the match, we chased it during autonomous, and managed to get it out before it did any damage.
It helps to learn from stuff like this. Though hopefully we can just learn from books, and other people's experiences from now on.
