We wrote a checklist on the side of our gearbox. =)

-are the breakers in?!
-is the radio connected?! (at BOTH ends of the cable)
-is the robot on?

And yes, we did miss out on matches for each of those reasons. Luckily those were only practice rounds. We'd perfected the whole checklist system by the time we got to the qualifying rounds.

In reference to what Ken said about ball herders: We had a similar problem. We drilled holes into the lexan plates that functioned as our "wings" and wove pneumatic tubing through those holes. The balls primarily came in contact with the tubing and not the lexan, which had a lower coefficient of friction.

Hey, it worked. =)
