Re: Teaching n00bs

We just had our second meeting, we were getting ready to do a demonstration with the robot, and a set screw was loose and the motor was spinning but the wheel wasn't. So we turned off the power and unplugged the battery and showed the rookies how to diagnose the problem and fix it. After we fixed it while we were about to close the the top on the Electronics board we turned back on the power, at that same instance a rookie hit the controls sitting on the table, which we left on. No one was hurt but it gave us all a scare.Curiosity of the freshmen almost killed the veteran. I hope it doesn't take someone getting hurt the teach a rookie to DO NOT TOUCH.
