At Knoxville, when deploying, we would suddenly back away from the tower when on the field, but we were fine in the pit and on the cart. The motors were not moving, so we were bafffled. During Purdue, we originally had it so it would automatically drive forward when we deployed our minibot, since newtons law does not exclude us, but our driver decided that he wanted to drive himself, so we removed it. Or so we thought. While inspecting the issue late Friday, we watched the jaguars, drove forward into a pole, and hit the deploy button. The jaguars turned off while we deployed, the compressed bumpers expanded, pushing us backwards, then matched the joystick after we finished deploying. As it turns out, originally, we added a check, are we deploying? to our drive code. If we were, ignore the joystick. That code was never removed after we removed the drive code, so it was "DriveSafety-ing" and killing our motors. It cost us quite a bit, we were not able to deploy successfully during Knoxville and the end of Purdue.
Lesson: remove ALL code related to something
