Re: Programming goofs!

My biggest programming blunder so far has to be in 2010. I was adjusting some of the numbers in our autonomous program to make sure that the robot would reach all of the soccer balls. After I finished and had left, the rest of the team replaced the battery and ran the autonomous mode. The robot plowed through all of the soccer balls and drove over the bump and into the middle of the field. So, I learned that it can be pretty important to check your battery voltage even while testing! Luckily, none of this happened during any actual matches; I had time to fix all of my mistakes the next day.
