Anyone else with a really bad robot?

Don't mind Lord Nerdlinger, sometimes he just forgets to take his Prozac.

So I bet you ship a decent machine in spite of the set back

So many holes to drill.......

Try being the electronics and software guys. Then you have to fix your own problems.

Well, our robot really wasn't designed realistically, everything works well in theory. And bin design wasn't the greatest. Personally I thought that our team didn't really work out the glitches in our robot in time because we were too slow with the design of our robot for the first week or so. There's always next year you know. This year was my first year, I will know what to do for next year. So I will make sure that my team don't repeat what it's been doing. Like slacking off and a whole bunch of other stuff. So did you guys have any problems like that?

This is my teams second year and my first. We had the same problems and during regionals our drivetrain couldn't survive a whole match.

14th place seems pretty good for a piece of junk robot
