WIN PUMP: A tool as mysterious as a UNICORN, yet has attributed to the amazing innovations of two FRC teams in particular.

(We may try to steal one this year just to figure out how well it works...)

Crescent Wrench = Hammer
Ratchet Handle = Hammer
Channel Lock Pliers = Hammer

Hammer = pry bar

Re: Tools Explained

Crimpers =/= Pliers! Ever!! This misuse results in an angry electrical subteam and bad crimps, so don't do it!!!

In other news, zip ties are the new duct tape, because unlike duct tape, zip ties do not usually remove hair when they are used as emergency hair ties.

Or pry bar lock, when you need the pried item to stay in place but think you'll need the pry bar elsewhere.

And there is nothing that can't be solved with a bigger hammer, whether it's sold as a hammer or not...

Zip Ties as a hair tie. Quite possibly the cutest hair accessory ever. All she would need then are 1714's FIRST Earrings and 3D printed clothes.

The girls on 840 braid their hair and make ziptie mohawks, pretty cool idea.
