So for me I have had this happen more then once in 11 years and I am not afraid to admit it. One time my wife drove 3 hours both ways to get back less then 10 mins before the event started because I was missing a part on my Vader rig. I can say that it had me a bit worried. But we cannot control everything and mistakes happen. I can say that it depends on the event and what character I am and what part is missing. I have sat out a event and become a handler because of forgetting a part of my costume and realizing it to late to get the part. But I have also had parts break while at a event like my one of my knee plates broke in my RC at a baseball game. I called it battle damage and trooped on until I got a break and fixed it. I believe that staying calm and realizing that you can’t fix it make a decision on what to do and what support you have at that moment is key. Am I going to troop or be a handler make up your mind and follow through. Thank you for your question and your time.
