Re: What are some of your rookie/silly mistakes?

It's 2011 and we are at the Bayou. Our autonomous had been giving us fits as our line trackers refused to, well, track. Finally, frustrated with the code, our programmer sets our robot to move forward based on time. I am recording next to the field with a video camera.

The starting bell sings. . . And our robot hurdles across the field. . . Backwards. It pile drives an opposing team into their front wall and they get hung up against it. I can't even remember the penalty they had to assess for that. I can't remember winning or losing the game. . . I do remember winning the regional though :-)
