So checklists are important.. Good thing too cuz it was worth 2 whole points! Although seriously they were easy points and if I didn't catch that mistake I probably wouldn't have a 1st place medal hanging on my wall.
(Check and double check! You never know...)
And then I forgot to take out the batteries and put the timing mast thing for the competition after that and we got tiered.
So yeah
CHECKLISTS
Thank god it was our first run and we still had like 5 minutes left
Also in rollercoaster we had a whole flow chart of what to do if something goes wrong. That was because we couldn't solve the problem at centerville 2018 where the ball would just not run and we got tiered and got like 60th out of like 64 teams.
