Okay, so, Imagine that on one side of the Venice High Autoshop yard, about eight people are building this cool ramp that a robot is supposed to go up. Now imagine that on the other side of the yard, a certain programmer (cough cough ME) is testing an autonomous routine. Now visualize this robot (Which is from 2002 and therefor has a harpoon on the front to grab goals with) flys forward at top speed and executes a flawless right turn. The programming team rejoices! The people standing on top of a bridge that has yet to be held together and collapses with them on top of it, however....
Additionally, we learned that when you don't initialize PWM outputs, they default to zero. Zero, by coincidence, is FULL REVERSE. Engineers don't like getting hit in the shins by a 120 lb robot that was turned on only to go flying towards them in FULL REVERSE.
