That reminds me. All through the SoCal competition this year, we were trying to get our arm working. (OK, we were building the arm) But we could never get the arm to work, no matter what I did with the programming, the motors wouldn't turn on. But then when i took the bot out onto the field and turned it on, the arm started working! But It was on constant reverse and was pulling it into itself, so I had to tear out the PWM before it destroyed itself! But we still never got the arm to work after that.
