Hot glue is the best way to hold your robot together. Glue together bars, and glue big clumps on axles to act as shaft collars. It’s also a great lubricant for gears and sprockets. It also lubricates the inside of bearing flats so axles can spin better.

Use zipties for everything. Motor to chassis mount, no problem! Ziptie! Mounting your shafts, ziptie! Zipties are the best, screw elastics, use zipties instead.

Just a quick disclaimer, zipties are apparently a pretty good idea for attaching motors to the chassis

Build a robot with a bunch of weapons so you can disable all other robots and score some points by just using your bot as a pushbot. Insta-win everytime

someone actually built a janky robot with only zipties and barely any screws and made it to state finals

Mind you that this is in Turning Point, It was San Diego State Finals, 3324J and 7700C and 7700C’s robot was attached by all zipties, yet still had the best autonomous and high skills run.
- This is middle school by the way

Hmmm. Worst advice. Decide to rebuild your robot one day before vex worlds.
Been there done that

If you get the worst skills score in the world you would automatically get an all expenses paid trip to worlds

Don’t even try to get on the Worlds waitlist. You’ll probably get there anyway.

There’s definitely quite a few teams that only scored 1 in skills. That would be an …interesting… worlds if that happened.

Imagine getting a negative skills score (must have broken a lot of rules)
