you wanted funny stuff?
i did ride aroud on the team robot once. we put the shaft of a swivel chair in the gripper, put the controls on my lap and went for a spin. it was a blast.
then last year, team 350 was an inactive team. we ended up competing at river rage with a modified version of our 2001 robot. We decided to test it at a little demo in merrimack nh on the 4th of july with teams 166 and 151. well, what ended up happening is the nashua robot managed to drag us around the field (they grabbed our frame). Then later they tried to help us out by pushing us so we could get away from the wall. It turns out the back of our bot is like a ramp, as they rolled on top of us. Then later that day, they knocked the battery out of position, and it came disconnected, then proceeded to knock off all 3 of our signs (the team number signs, and sponsors sign). It was amusing.
then earlier that year 2 kids got in a lightsaber fight with 2 of the PVC pipes off the 2002 goal
in 2001 we managed to snap our front left wheel off 2 times at UTC regionals
thats all i can think of for now
