Github, Dropbox, Google Drive... none of them will help if you drop your laptop half-way through re-programming your robot, while you're standing in the queueing line.

With a flash drive and a helpful alliance partner, you at least stand a chance to set things right.

The thing is it's not like it's "either, or". Any decent DRP (disaster recovery program) involves several types of backup. At the very minimum, back up your code every day of coding to USB or better yet to 2 or more USBs and give to different people.
