Re: Programming goofs!

I first tested our new autonomous on the competition field at our regional last year. I forgot that a positive voltage setting to the wheels means the robot goes backwards. I don't think I'll ever see a robot again accelerate full speed backwards over a bump, catch airtime, and land on the ground, back-wheels first. Oh, and then we proceeded to turn the wrong because of the erroneous values, cross the median, and get 11 penalties and a red card by the end of autonomous. Woohoo.
