Being the team's lead programmer, I was asked to create an autonomous sequence to go breach the portcullis and shoot a high goal. LET THE NEXT SENTENCE BE A WARNING TO ALL PROGRAMMERS . One line in the code was missing a semicolon, causing the robot to get stuck in a loop, ruining the entire match. My missed keystroke is to blame for that close match (we didn't have time to test the auto code so it was never discovered).
It happens to the best of us haha. If it's any consolation it made the match a lot more entertaining than just another 118 win.
