Re: Programming goofs!

The year before I was on the team (2008), 1569 had a pretty major blunder in atutonomous. With four mech wheels, with a cim on each, that robot really earned it's name of Mach 5. The programmers cut the power to half for teleop for the drive train, but forgot to do so in autonomous. It slammed full speed into the opposing alliance's wall, apparently knocking their control boards onto the ground! Luckily no real damage was done, and we learned to limit the code everywhere from then on.
