Dangerous.....Code problem?!?

Does anyone know if the code resets after being on for too long? Yesterday, we were working on code for our arm, and one of our engineers was messing with the joystick for the arm (he had it backwards when this happened). The robot suddenly just kicked on full foward until it came crashing into my shin, a full foot away , then it quit! We turned it off and when we turned it on again, our sponsor was leaning over it reactivating the kill switch so the bot could be on again, and it just kicked on again!!!! Our arm scratched our sponsor's neck and then went crashing into MY OTHER SHIN! Soooo now that you know the circumstances, why did it do that .
