There are several Grades of repairs that are made in the pits:

1. Professional Grade: Part broke/didn't perform. Whole subsystem if ripped off robot, redesigned, new parts machined, and you still make it to your next match in one piece.

2. Journeyman Grade: Same as above, but you didn't finish before your next match, but your 2nd match has the new system.

3. Normal Grade: We had spare parts, just changed it out and awaayy we go.

4. Typical Grade: ZipTie/DuckTape/30 Second Expoy it back together. Add it to the checklist to inspect before and after everyround. Drive gentel with it, we don't want to stress it.

5. We in the finals (pre 3 team in finals rule) Get all the pieces back on the bot somehow, and "Full Ramming Speed!"

If duct tape isn't the answer, your not asking the right question.

Who needs safety glasses when when your team issues nothing but scissors and a pair of dykes?

Ah, yes...
