1. Trace the code.
2. You need to ensure that the controls are being neutralized on start.
3. Are you jumping into auton mode? shorts, etc.

Before we switch the breaker on our bor, we tell everyone in a loud voice, Stand clear, Robot starting up.

Only one person near the robot during fire-up.
Only one person near joysticks/oi controls (to ensure no knocking of controls) Activate breaker in a 'safe' position.
(no ties hanging down, hand not in treads zone, not in front of bot, etc.)

To quote a motto (I think OSHA), "Safety is no accident"
