[Owen Meaker]

I am the lead programmer for our team since our rookie year last year. the automous was a simple go forward, stop, go backward, move to the side. The first time I got to test it was in the first practice match. I watch the countdown begin, then I see the robot move....backwards up the bump and hi center (our robot was meant to go underneath the tunnel, not over). I quickly go back to the pit to fix the code. after I have the fix, I'm informed that two of the wheels had been switched, which partly contributed to the problem. Content, i deploy the code, and watch the second practice match. the countdown begins and the robot moves...backwards, again, and hi-centers itself, again. I had made a change in the begin.vi, not considering that there might be a case where we ran autonomous twice before shutting down. Lucky this was all during the practice time, and a kind team helped get us down the second time to let us practice. Let's hope there is not another mistake this year.
