How much Bad Luck Did your Team Have??

[Digo]

At the beggining of a match our robot couldn't move. One of the threads stopped and the other one couldn't do anything alone.
I was sad wondering what happened. Did the guys forget to tight the sprockets' screws? Did we run out of battery? Was there a loose wire?

Here's what happened:

There was a screw on the floor. When the match started our robot went exactly where the screw was, and in a special way: the screw went between the pulley and the belt, and it got stuck in a way that the screw ripped the belt and stood there not to let us play and to make sure the Murphy's law was correct once more.

We had never seen that kind of screw before. It means it wasn't ours.

It wouldn't have happened if the screw was a little bit smaller, a little bit bigger or if it was one centimeter away in any direction of the place it was.


So THAT is what I call "bad luck".


We had many other bad lucks, but I can't complain at all about reaching the division's quarter-finals in a national competition. I'm really happy about the 2002 Championship.
