We were at that one. Eventually something gets through all the safeties. The key is that it doesn't happen often.

We made an interesting discovery this year with our robot. It's a 6 wheel drive using pneumatic tires. With the right PID values, we can make it go sideways by rocking/bouncing forward and back. We should have some short video of this somewhere. We think it's probably killer on the WCD though.
