Re: why blame the programmers??

We don't generally have to many problems with programming errors on our team but the programmers get blamed for everything and the mechanical team takes the credit when everything works.

The best one was when our battery came disconnected. The programmers say the mechanical team should have zip tied the connector together....which they should have. The mechanical team says the programmers shouldn't have run and hit the wall full speed during autonomous mode in Lunacy causing the battery to fly out of the robot and the human player at the middle station to crap his pants (slight exaggeration but half the balls in the hopper went over the wall and hit him)......okay maybe that one was a programming error.
