Re: Stupidest Programming Mistakes

Worst ones I've seen on our team:

1. Our variation of "when robots attack", when someone re-routed the shaft encoder harness to where one of the CIM motor chains could suck it in, resulting in one of the shaft encoders zeroing out while the other incremented, causing a wild spiral while folks are falling over themselves to hit the disable switch on the OI.

2. Various spastic responses from leaving the backup battery off the bot and having the motors draw enough current to reset the RC, causing very, spastic results.
