hehe - convoluted. Place your thumb under your forefinger, you index over your pinky and try to hit the buttons with you elbow. Or nose.

More importantly: It almost sounds as if the stored programs are getting corrupted as the robot is running. Is it at all possible that a strong magnetic field is messing with your memory? it's a strech at best, but that's all I could come up with.
