Faceplant Specs       Strategy   Competition Stories

 

Faceplant [feys-plahnt] (v): to attach one's front firmly to a solid barrier, such as the wall of a 6.270 board (but any surface, including another robot's face, will do).

Bonus points for:

  • a steady gyroscope reading of "0 degrees" while searching for the wall
  • commitment to the wall despite code/mechanical changes, prayers, or loud swearing
  • structural damage, including disfigured gears
