Re: Programming goofs!
One big one I made a couple nights before ship involved a negative. We were testing the newly repaired arm and our code for keeping it steady and I figured that it would be okay to run it without picking it up so it could move in any direction. It turned out that the minute I started it it ran back against the hard stop and nearly pulled through the bolts holding in the gear box. That was an interesting night. On the plus side after removing that negative the code worked like a charm!

I know this said no inverted motor things but it nearly pulled the bolts through the steel!!
