Oh man those minibots. At our first competition one of them went up and hit the top with enough force to scrape the battery cover plate into the battery, resulting in a ball of smoke falling from a 10-foot high drop (very much like BX 2013). One of the volunteers quickly removed it from the playing field. That was the same volunteer who turned off power to the 2013 robot.

At our second 2011 event, our mini bots kept going up and down the pole. We were the only team who could win 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place in one match. It was fun for the crowd to watch, but usually resulted in motors burning out (we hadn't thought about using a 7.5 amp fuze until after that). We eventually found out that the flat light switch we were using to turn it off at the top was weak enough to switch back on from the force of the fall.
