Re: Stupidest Programming Mistakes

I havent made any hilariously dumb mistakes coding, i have done the condition after the else statement but i caught it quickly and i have also done the good old no semi-colon, but my most hilarious story is from an alumni from our team on his first programming attempt,

Basically to init his PWM values he set them to 0 logically thinking that zero meant no speed, the robot the ran full speed backward over the laptop he was using to program giving it the name "smokey" for ever and now i have to try and fix this old i286 laptop to use for some random off season stuff
