Re: What are some of your rookie/silly mistakes?
One word.... WatchDog
we just could not get this little bugger to work for us. and we were young enough to not know how to disable or work around it...

this was a funny moment of that same year...

Person: Hey, can you take a look at the code? the robot seems to be going a little slow.
Programmer: Sure.
-walks into the pit and over to the drive station. pushes both joysticks full forward and the robot jumps out of the pit, ripping the eathernet cord out-
Programmer: ... ... ... That seemed to be going pretty fast to me.

<lesson learned> put on blocks... ALWAYS </lesson learned>
