Re: Programming goofs!

We got to regionals and were ready to drive our robot. We discovered that the wires coming from the motor controllers were backwards, so we would have to drive in reverse(we only had a base, the rest was deemed illegal through incorrect materials.). We got the wiring fixed, only to discover that a right turn required moving the joystick to the left. I was confused because forward and backward worked normally. I fixed it by inverting the joystick input. It was not until after the competition that I discovered I put the signal wires into the wrong outputs from the sidecar.
