Not sure if this qualifies as sketchy/janky, but I have to bring up what our team has dubbed "chairbot" from 2014

On our robot at the Greater Toronto central regional the screws holding a cim into a transmission were loose. Needless to say we didn't have enough time to fix it properly so we used pieces of scrap metal, zip ties and about a half roll of duct tape to hold it in place.

I am not even kidding, hands down, no doubt, this is my favorite robot from 2014. This is so awesome. We use peices of chairs on our bot as a frame but this is next level. Fav bot fav team 2014.

Seems like a defense bot.

Amusingly, the chair replaced a wooden structure for their second event.

Example of it earning a possession in a match (so it is much more than a mere defense bot).
