Delta-T woes...

When your Delta-T gets up there and the CPU turns off all your outputs while on the ramp, some funky stuff happens, specifically, confusion. This happened to 2 teams in a match my team had last year when both robots were on the bridge, heavier one in front. Logically, they rolled backward and achieved a nice velocity before they both got themselves working again, but at that point they became intertwined by a piston-mounted aparatus and a piece of extrusion, locked. the tug of war that resulted was not good, and no amount of teaming could knock them apart. That was a bad thing...
