Re: What hath we wrought? 2016 Horror Stories

Of course, how could I forget about our wonderful match in the Iowa regional?

First, the buildup, so we had a camera on our robot, but it was A.) not implemented, and B.) Worthless even if it was because our flywheel didn't have a working encoder until last month (When I eventually became electrical lead).
So it was removed middle of the regional.

Turned out that caused something to go wrong in the teleop programming, so after a successful breach of some static defense, teleop starts and the robot turns, and keeps turning, in a circle, because it was going in donuts and left a mark on the field that was not removed by closing ceremonies.

Fun fact: There is no full video of that match, anywhere. There is video of the robot on it's own going in donuts, but there is not any of the full match.
