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 .
I don't think the code resets itself. Maybe it was because the engineer hit the joystick, and you values were reversed also (so full back on the joystick would go foward). Sorry to hear about that though
