Don’t you hate it when your instructor emails you to report missing controllers after you put them in the drawer where they belong.
@VincentEpic
when you show up to competition without a screwdriver and you have to borrow from another team but theirs is broken and barely works
when the wifi at the competition venue doesn’t work
Don’t you hate it when they say that quantum duality of USB-A connector requires you to flip it three times

but every time you try to insert it, it takes you, at least, five.
Man I was just the messenger no one else knew where they were either😭 I wasn’t at the comp and the people who were couldn’t find them
Don’t you hate it when you accidentally ctrl a + backspace and panic for a few seconds that your code is gone, then you realize ctrl z exists (phew)
I’ve always assumed that USB A was 4 dimensional.
In some coding softwares (Pycharm, for example), they make Ctrl + Z delete the line. So if you make a mistake and press Ctrl + Z, the mistake becomes worse ![]()
Luckily, most professional and good coding softwares have settings for changing hotkeys. ![]()
This is what high strength is for
Or zipties
In TT put arm axles twisted and broke so we zipties it all together and somehow it worked
Yeah, once we figured out what the problem was we fixed that and also changed to High Strength just in case something went wrong again, and it works just fine now.
Don’t you hate it when your robot gets high centered on a ring?
Don’t you hate it when your tournament gets almost 2 hours behind schedule because the wifi broke and basically every single elimination match had the refs talking about a rule violation and what the penalty is so you’re there for over 11 hours.
It was sooooooo annoying
But all of the skills scores were reset ![]()
I know, it sucked for a lot of teams. It actually helped my team because we had used 2 of our 3 driver skills and had only gotten 121 points but we were able to redo it and get 140 and a 40 programming so we got 180.
The fact that you entered that right where you did… lol
Dont you hate it when your main 4-bar snaps 3 minutes before your next match (IQ not EDR because if your 4-bar snaps in EDR you’ve got bigger issues at hand)
I was there for 10 hours at my last competition because skills was done so poorly it took 3.5 hours, instead of 2.5 hours.
You lose in the quarterfinals for a misuse of the “transitive contact” rule and it lose the match even though you could see at least a paper size amount of separation? Actually happened to us. We pushed 3 MOGO on the platform, one fell over, wasn’t touching the ref could slide a piece of paper through and said that it was still touching and said the it wasn’t going to count, and it wasn’t supporting, which went against and earlier call that the platform was balanced even though it was touch by our robot which he said wasn’t supporting it and called it balanced for the past match. Worst headache ref I ever met, hands down.
Don’t you hate it when you lose finals because you were hoarding. (We won finals at our last competition because the other team was hoarding).
