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

Last year, at the Chestnut Hill MAR district competition, the field crashed. The reason? As a sophomore (first year in FRC) in charge of the vision system, I was the only one who knew everything that was going on with the camera. The problem? Two (one to the cRIO, one to the driver station) 640x480 full-color, low compression camera streams, in conjunction with high bandwidth usage by other teams, crashed the field for an hour. Add on top of that that the image processing had used too much processing power at the previous competition, making our driver controls lag severely (I removed the guilty processing by Chestnut Hill, but forgot to remove the actual image retrieval, hence the two streams), and I had a pretty mistake-filled first year in FRC.
