Re: surefire ways to break your robot
Step 1: Retrieve our various PVC pipes strewn about the field on Thursday at Chesapeake.

Step 2: Instruct a student to take the drill and screw together the fittings and pipes.

Step 3: Queue up for our next practice round.

(With the relative youth of our team, the kids missed a spot or three each go-round until that night, where there were about five screws in every joint.)

With 5 seconds left, pull off something that takes 9 seconds to do.
