Re: Scary FIRST stories?

IRI 2013 Semi Final 1-2.

After no hiccups while climbing all season the cable on our autonomous climber just barely catches on the tower enough to support the weight of the robot for a brief second instead of sliding over the rung and letting the hook engage. The fall broke several wheels in our robot, bent several axles, killed a jag controlling our shooter which left the shooter dead in SF1.3, and bent the frame. Skip5.3 never drove like we did at IRI again and we never broke 100 points for the remainder of the season. What was worse was knowing we just needed to win one of the two remaining matches after squeaking out a win in SF1.1.

Also finding out 5AM the morning you leave for St. Louis you no longer have bus is pretty scary.
