Go to Post Last year we saved a ton of money by using a good bit of square tubing for the frame of our robot, square tubing is a lot cheaper then C channel. We get to use so much raw material that the cost should go down in certain places. - Derrick Maust [more]

Re: surefire ways to break you robot

By far the most surefire way is to declare that "We've finally finished the build early!" At that point, it is almost guaranteed that the robot will suffer a total existence failure, or worse, during your most important match.

Of course, and more seriously, a lack of testing is almost a more-guaranteed killer (why is it that everything that gets tested already works and everything that doesn't get tested doesn't work?). I think this is what let my team down this year...
