Not a robot freaking out story, but funny nevertheless. On one Practice match Thursday, or a match Friday morning at SVR (I dont remember) we were either in the middle of autonomy, or the beginning of human control. The robot had just started to go up the ramp, and suddenly did not respond to user control. We could not see it, but when the wall fell, one box fell just right and actually tripped the push button on our 120A circuit breaker, turning the robot off... Definitely the weirdest thign ever to happen to our team while I've been around.
