Surprisingly, our robot handled the rain pretty well.
On the way to Battlecry this year, we were going to put the robot under the coach bus. Unfortunately, this coach bus was about 4" not deep enough underneath to fit the robot. We had to stick it in the back of a mentor's pickup truck. Double unfortunately, it was raining. We covered the robot with a tarp. Triple unfortunately, all this extra set up made us late. The robot beat the team to WPI, and team 40 helped our mentor unload the robot, because we were
in the next match with team 40. They lent us a battery, and we dried the robot off with paper towels and put it on the field sans bumpers or dashboard.
Nothing smoked!
