Re: Programmers on the Drive Team

One thing that our mentor team (Team 188) suggested we would do is add an override to our limit switches in case of failure during a match. We didn't think we would need it but literally the game right after putting the override into our code we ended up using it because of a gutsy move on my end trying to get as high as I could on our lift system which in return broke the limit switch.

So the lesson learned here is that always have a backup plan for any point of failure so that way you will always be prepared for whatever may happen on the playing field.
