At SBPLI, there was a match in which we didn't trust our autonomous mode systems, and thus we switched the program selector to 00, the setting for no autonomous. Then we closed the shield on our robot, and soon after, the match started. Wonder of wonders, our robot goes back at full speed, and then inexplicably climbs the ramp and stops in from of the boxes. It turns out that the lid was closed with sufficient force to change the setting on the program selector to "full back mode" AND one of our sensors was not mounted correctly, and so only one side ran, and our robot ran up the ramp.

This is experimental proof that two wrongs DO make a right.
