What? I told you before, Travis, my code is
rock-solid! It's
all the hardware's fault. Trust me.
Ahem. Yes, I tried to say that with a straight face.
Honestly, it was almost nerve-wrackingly brutal there. I barely had enough time between matches to tween the code, and the robot practically went in with broken autonomous code for several matches. And the scary part is that after three days of mental and physical exhaustion, I'm still not sure what went wrong and why (it seemed to work fine in testing and skirmishes). I'm almost starting to regret my choice of autonomous code implementation.
Although, bugs can be a good thing: In an elimination match, the robot accidentally knocked over one of the opponents' multiplier stack with a misbegotten autonomous mode. It was unexpected, but not unappreciated.
Regardless, in the end, everything turned out well for us. All I know is that I don't want to see a line of any code for a very good long time (I'm removing compilers from my machine as we speak). I'm sure many feel the same way with the physical aspects of the robot.
Oh wait. I fogot about LA. Wah! I want my blankie.
Anyway, big thanks to team 606 and 460 for the alliance team-up and congratulations to all teams that competed there.
