worst experience

[Dorienne]

Nice thread idea. =D
My worst experience at a competition was in the '03 season, when I was a rookie. And I was also the baby. Not good. One particular guy gave me a rough time, and he bothered me to the point of insanity that I had to leave. I wasn't doing too well that day. It just bothered me.
Some experiences also were leaving friends behind that I didn't wanna say goodbye to. I miss a ton of people I hardly talk to anymore in FIRST. It's sad. =(

I spent my junior year of college in Germany, and had a chance to visit a sausage factory. Well, I found out why they say you never want to find out how laws and sausa... Oh wait. You said worst, not wurst.

OK last year at VCU my team was doing ok, we were in the top 30ish, in the few minuets before our last match our programing team wanted to work out the last few bugs in our line tracking. The first run the robot did ok, so they made some changes, second run the robot ran itself in to the wall hard, and broke the front caster in half. We get back to the pits we didn't have a replacement, we went to just about every team couldn't find one. We sit out our final match. Then alliance pairings comes, team 345 picks us to be there alliance but we had to decline. It just wouldn't be fair to team 345 and their other partner.

Not to mention all but 4 people on our team were sick, so we packed up and went home early. Bad experience i don't think you can get much worse than that.
