We may or may not have done the exact same thing at Battle of Baltimore 2014. Our coach ,after double checking with a programmer, set up the auto and the match started. Consequently, the robot, instead of driving into the zone, took off full speed in the opposite direction across the length of the field. It then slammed into the opposing side's alliance wall then backed up about a foot, and then did it again and again and again till auto was over. Not our finest moment.
You can ask just about any of the 2014 students about that event and they'll deny BoB ever happened that year. I can however vouch for the excellent event quality, if not for our particular performance quality at the event.
