Get angry at a member

[Qbranch]

Oh I'm sure you'd all like to see the video of when our autonomous crashed...

Without bumpers...

Into a column...

At full speed...

Well we did prove a few things though:

1] Must not have been a structural column (building is still standing)

2] The arm mechanicals section of the robot makes a great frontal offset collision crumple zone.

3] The aluminum robot is mightier than the plaster.

4] RALFF doesn't carry any auto insurance.

Moral of the story: Crashes happen, things break... SHIFT HAPPENS (especially on fast robots ). Part of life. sonicx: I wish you and your team best of luck repairing your robot at Peachtree.

Hmmm someone might have said this already. But arent you glad that he crashed it in practice rather than in the actual competition where it may cost you a match? I am sure you will get the bot fixed and try to find ways to prevent this from happening when it really matters. Everyone makes mistakes, I dont think it was on purpose.

Now take your anger and use that energy into rebuilding that arm. Trust me if 1 crash into the wall did it, then it wouldn't have lasted 1 match. This is a robot parts flying off and ducking kind of game. Every round I have watched ,parts are being picked up off the field. We had everything from screws, gears and wheels on the field at the comp. I was at. This is a rough game, more so than I would have thought. Lots of damage is being done during hybrid mode. Also seen a few balls getting "booted" out of the field

You vented, now hope that you don't make a mistake and have a teammate put it out for the world to see!!
