Re: Any funny stories during the season?
At Philly, during a qualification match, a robot began smoking. And by smoking, I dont mean a trickle of smoke, I mean a serious amount billowing out. The team refused to E-Stop their robot in autonomous, due to the penalty, so it continued smoking. The robot was also in their offensive zone, so they could hardly see it. When Tele-Op starts, they run to the controls, and try to drive it. When they realize that it is smoking, they start jamming their E-Stop button. Nothing happens. They are all like WTF!!!!! Our team and other members other people on the stands start yelling, and finally the refs E-Stop the robot, and end the game. A volunteer runs onto the field with a fire extinguisher looking dangerously ready to pull the trigger. The smoke soon stops coming out, and then the team runs on to the field to see what the issue was. They fixed it, and they won the match.
