I agree. If it wasn't programming, our team wouldn't have been up half the night stomping out bugs.

Also I have to say that I was very impressed with what our programmers accomplished with only 26 bytes for variables. We can swing our arm at the bins, back up, change gears, and head up the ramp, and if something throws us off course, our robot automatically steers back on course. (As we were testing the above routine, we discovered that the FedEX truck was coming down the street. We had to hussle.)
