yeah, so apparently with our control system:
when you disable the bot when the wings are out, it brings the wings back in (piston powered wings to be specific). Then, when you enable it again (assuming power hasnt been cut off to either the OI or RC) the wings pop out again.

I kinda forgot about that minor detail.

got nailed right below the knee with one of the wings.

And I know its not robot related, but its still funny.
One of my fellow team members was trying to knock a welded piece off of our robot using a rubber mallet. He kind of let go at the end of his swing and the rubber hammer flew 20ft and hit me about an inch from my heart.

I ran when he said "what about a sledge hammer?"
