Re: why blame the programmers??
In all my seriousness, in my experiences, programming errors happen more than mechanical errors just because of the fact that, if you follow proper engineering procedures, it generally will not drastically alter the workings of the robot if one bolt is not tightened correctly, whereas the mistake of one character can destroy the entire code of a robot.
