 When I first read this comic, I thought "Awww, how cute!". But then, thoughts of Karthik singing J. Lo's "Love Don't Cost a Thing" started running around through my head, and everything changed. - Travis Hoffman [more] |

This picture is an example to all of why not to:
1) Places your controller near moving, weight bearing parts
2) Not use lockwashers or locktight on pnuematic piston mounts
3) Not protect your controller by any means at all...
4) Get into a pushing match with 60. Sheesh!
*pic was taken after I had already fixes about half of the bent pins. We'll see if the computer still works tomorrow. Tonight was all about cleanup and icecream.

Ouch! I know the feeling.
Back in 2003 at UCF we finally got our autonomous mode to work on the practice field and the robot drove up and over the ramp. However, we tightly connected the tether cable, and the cable got caught in the ramp and the robot kept going... ripped the whole works out of the controller (then we had to use a loaner the rest of the weekend and the thing was horrible so our autonomous was bad the rest of the weekend)

It's nice to see that good coating of aluminum shavings. If I ever wanted to get something dirty and keep it dirty, I'd spray it with a bit of grease and then cut lots of aluminum over it. No amount of compressed CO2 cans can take care of that....

I think its probably insulation... Since it was in my garage when we were insulating it. -_-
