What was your teams worst expierence during competition?

I have 2 that come to mind when I think of bad experiences.

First of which was our rookie year and we were at the Denver Regional. We were doing very well for a rookie team and achieved highest rookie seed and were ranked 3rd when it came to alliance selections. Friday night was the team social at Fat City and the driver, safety captain and 2 others were playing mini golf. Our safety captain was being less than safe and swung the club like it was an actual golf club. In the process he hit our only driver right under the eye causing him to need stitches and pain medication. I was a freshman at the time and distinctly remember seeing him and our coach walk towards the exit, blood seeping from the paper towel under his eye. Needless to day the next day was interesting and we did not do as well as we possibly could have.

Second was when we traveled to Atlanta for Championships in 2008. We the finale there was a misunderstanding between our coach and a parent. Coach thought the student was going with his parents to dinner, parents thought the student was staying with us. The student ended up wandering from the Finale until he found our hotel. He had no one's phone number and didn't even know the name of our hotel. We learned about his little adventure the next day.

I'm assured we have probably had some bad mechanical experiences as well but I do not know any of them as I have always focused more on the business side of things.
