Re: The importance of testing
At our second regional this year, we wer convinced that we we're having significant battery issues, because the robot couldn't strafe. It was only untill 1.5 hours before pit closed on thusday that we learned our mechanum wheels had bent due to all the banging after coming off a bump. Luckily we were able to show some amazing team work and fix all for wheel in time for pits to close....

now we have to check the wheels after every match (we also bought new ones, as the ones we were using were used from 2007)
