Re: Programming goofs!

One of my favorite goofs was in 2010. I was in charge of autonomous and was trying to get the robot to go forward and kick. During the build our soccer balls were to close, so when we got to competition our robot didn't go the distance it needed to (barely). To try to fix it I had it wait an additional two seconds before it kicked. The result was that it kicked the alliance station wall. No driver stations were damaged, but I could hear the result from the back of the stadium. I now increment values by very small amounts when needed.
