We sure did. We have three wheels, each powered by their own drill motor, with a solenoid shifting system for low/high gear. One of our wheels was stuck in low the whole time, so we had to run the whole robot in low gear the whole time. We also had a match where our robot was bugging out, I've never seen our team use the "robot reset" button so much!

Haha... yeah, our robot was having lots of problems with the controls. We got the robot driving normally by our first match, and we finally got the switchbox working by our third match I think... so we were fully functioning then, but we still did poor because we didn't have our actual driver from the competitions driving the bot, since he didn't come and since the rule is at IRI... "anyone who wants to drive can drive"... the rest was up to the students. However, the students did agree among themselves to have the best driver drive the finals matches...
