This happened to me as well. We built a 4bar, and the day of the tournament I had to go to a soccer game. When I got back, the 4bar is gone and we have two pieces of c-channel attached like rotary blades. I got back just in time to watch us get DQed from the consolation matches for ripping out another team’s chain.
No it just didn’t even lift at all 
This thread was clearly made for me.
I have done many things in robotics. One example is freaking gearing our arm for speed and having no idea why it won’t work. Another is vex beyblade made out of gears whilst being a bored sixth grader. But the dumbest, and I mean the cream of the crop dumb, was accidentally starting a cult at scout camp based solely off the word daddyo. They were fun times
It would have been fine if the word was DRow…
That’s a fair point, I’ll try next year
#@Drow forever
When I was in middle school we interchanged drivers for different matches at more than 1 competition. That was fun
care to tell us how?
built my robot 24 by 24 because it was tile size got a comp in 6 days
I saw your post on personal team quotes about this.
F
I’ve heard somewhere o n the forum that if your bot is too large, you can use a belt sander and grind it down to the size limit 
read dis
Dont for the love of all that is holy do this

Cant my robot is too big for my schools belt sander. i would tho just a millimeter off the motors because they are a millimeter out
Stupidest thing I’ve done in Vex is leave the robot unattended.
“We’ve made some changes”
“WHERE IS THE ROBOT!?!?!”
You know guys, I think I have found the solution to this thread. The stupidest thing I’ve done in vex was start a DRow cult.
Ich habe ein groß Kult! Mean Kult ist zehr gut!
Not my robot but last year I saw someone at inspections and their robot had a bunch of pieces sticking out of the size limit so he ran back to his bay, came back with a hacksaw and sawed all that stuff off, filed it and got cleared in record time. I wonder what hes doing now…
You have broken the fabric of reality. Please do not post any more of this sorcery.
Jk pls do we all love some magic
whats funny is every time they start to work on their robot they always ask me which way the nylocks go on (we don’t do VEX in middle school so freshman year is usually their first time doing VEX)
Getting that screw on is just as likely as a clawbot getting three state qualifying awards on a tournament recently. Nobody really did skills, and they managed to win it. They won elimination matches because our team captain actually accepted the offer of a push bot for an alliance(it was a small tournament). Then when I tell them at least 20 times they need to play Defence to the death against our opponents Traybot they end up on the other side of the field doing god knows what and we lost. So they got skills and tournament champion which, of course, made them win excellence award. I was pissed at our alliance partner but we were laughing in the awards ceremony. To be four though their driver is pretty good.
Can you guys just wait for the group PM if it hasn’t already happened?
A girl i liked told me dont fall down stairs at state to where i yell i wont. 5 seconds later im falling down stairs. Why did i bother to say something. To give u an idea. Its 3 flights of stairs
