Re: Most creative use of a part or material in 2008

I'm sure that I'm not alone in being amazed at Team 272's use of an electromagnet to tension the slingshot on their robot.

I only saw their robot with a trackball loaded at the end of a match once... facing the crowd the electromagnetic ceased to have electricity as it is wont to do at the end of a match, and the trackball was unleashed to bounce on the only judge sitting along judge's row.
