No, I feel ya - My first run through Resistance Refuel, a bot took the Avionics, ran right up to the delivery spot, and got stuck on the tailfin of the plane. He spasmed at it, trying to climb over it, for 2 full minutes before giving up and running away to shoot enemies.
All while the clock was ticking down to 00:00.
