Hey guys, what are cursed images from your robotics career?
Here is one of mine:
I don’t have a picture but we filed a lock collar down by accident while trying to file down a driveshaft and it was smoking. My friend touched it and screamed.
i dont have an image sadly but we almost completely broke a drill bit when assembling our chassis
Does anyone remember the one about the super twisted drive shaft from the other topic?
Oh my that looks sketchy! But it could also just be a shaft collar on the robot and he just forgot to move it.
Not the way it’s set up. That is a shaft collar being used as a nut.
I have done something similar, but used it with an axle 
Wish I had a picture of us filing an axle to make it shorter in sixth grade
I dont have a picture of it
but I once twisted an axel
and I ended up useing it
as a drill bit
@Gameoa get down here, and show them your box zip-ties.
@ItsMe @Deicer @gilmorkn472
No, that’s a random shaft collar that’s sitting there. I’ve only ever bolted a shaft collar to a c channel once and it failed terribly
that should be a new robot fasion thing
if you see a robot with a hole bunch of shaft colars on it then it is probbly mine lol XD
I don’t have an image of this, but my first year in vex, my team built a complete robot without using a single flat bering. We always wondered why holes were appearing in our metal where axles went. That was a tough rookie mistake.
What the robot named Squeakers?
I though you were holding the robot the was next to the cube. Me and my dumb brian.
Nope, nobody is touching that cube
