Re: Crazy Robot Inspection Stories

My story is a little, actually quite, different than most of these. I've probably mentioned it once or twice in a couple different threads, so please bare with me (or just stop reading) if I'm repeating myself.

My senior year with 116, we were well on our way to passing inspection (on our first try, no less). Our inspector was talking to another inspector, who specialized in electronics. They asked us politely if we could take a short break in the inspection...
...so they could photograph our electronics layout.

It was, without a doubt, the single moment that has made me the most proud of any robot I've built in FIRST. More proud than when we won the FIRST Vex Challenge pilot in 2005. More proud than when the robot they pictured went further in Atlanta than we've ever gone before. Even more proud than when a rookie team came up to our bot to admire the engineering.

...and I didn't even work on the electronics.
