Re: There, I fixed it!

Thanks for sharing!

Those pictures remind me of a temporary robot fix we did once. We were at our practice field, doing driver practice in the offseason. The chassis for the practice robot had been used for practice bots for a solid three seasons, so it had taken a lot of beatings, and had been taken apart and reconnected quite a few times. There was something loose in it, and it kept making hideous rattling and grinding noises as it shook while the robot drove, and loose pieces crashed into the chain. Since it wasn't our building site, and it was the offseason, we didn't have the right tools and parts to fix it properly, so we decided to do a temporary fix to stop the noise for the rest of the day... using duct tape and cardboard. When cardboard improves robot function, it's usually a good sign that your robot has been around for a while too long. (Shortly thereafter we refurbished that bot the right way, if you were wondering.)
