[b]this year, we share a build area with team 166.
well they had a prototype drive system set up for their auto and gearboxs. our robot, 151 was lying in pieces on the opposite end of our makeshift playing field. well 5 minutes before, 166 setup thier robot backwards and it drove into our driver. well, to say the least...he wasnt very happy...anyway..
well they set it up in the correct position for another try at it, and somehow, the code got reversed, so hte bot drove striaight backwards. so we are working quietly on the bot, when WHAM!!
the robot hits tyler again, and he grabs the robot and flips it over, thinking that it will go the other way...
well their auto mode at that point did the opposite thing IT CAME BACK AT TYLER AGAIN, its like it wouldnt stop! classic


Greg - the amazing thing about your story is that the robot wasn't in autonomous mode - I was driving it......
