All I did was fry a spike -- the circuit breaker breaking about 15 times and the wires getting really hot didn't quite clue me in, so I almost switched it out for another... before a mentor enlightened me. I was a bit under the weather that day.

My very favorite quote from our very first year as a FRC Team, from one of our younger student team members:

Before I joined the team, I didn't even know what a 1/4-20 tap was. Now I know how to break three of them in one evening!

I've done a pretty swell job of painting robot parts this year (if I might say so myself), but tonight I managed to create a horrible mess of the most visible section of the chassis. Spray paint + wind + gluing stencil down = not good. Luckily, one of our newer members happened to have some brushes and white paint, so it's almost erased.

Another fun incident is when one of our members got himself locked in the Taco Bell restroom on our way home from Sacramento. The manager had to kick the door in.
