Nightmare Repairs At Competition

[C. De Vries]

We were going through inspection and had most everything checked off and then one of judges takes a closer look at our robot and says that we used a larger wire gauge. So our entire robot had to be rewired, putting all other work to halt while the electrical team scrambled to fix everything. Then of course there was the rapid swiss cheesing and filing of the corners. We ended up passing inspection moments before our first match (and here I will point out that we are a rookie team and we had the first match of the day) at exactly 120.0 pounds.

Also, please excuse my ignorance, but what happened to teams 1592 and 801?
