Once, in a rush to get to the field for last call, we had our programmer crop the auton mode out so we only had our basic control programming. Well, he set auton to come on no matter what, on accident, so I had to get back in 10 seconds or else we'd be dealing with some pretty unhappy judges...
I got back in time, and then it didn't do anything for auton... and then it didn't drive after auton. Well, it turns out that not only did he have auton to come on, regardless, but it was going to run for two full minutes.
We didn't know what had happenned until we ran it back to the pits, panicking.
