Touche, sir. Luckily I learned my lesson and that didn't happen again. Until we were on the practice field and the robot attacked me and the table we had the driver station on...

We have a custom operator console with pots that aren't necessarily on center. So if the joystick order is wrong, interesting things can happen. So yeah, I think I AM going to look at putting an interlock in there to make sure teleop doesn't start if the drive stick is wildly off-center.
