Re: Famous Last Words
(This happened while queued for a practice match at Palmetto this year)
1293's programmer: "Quick, connect this up to the program port!" (He tosses a program cable from the laptop over the arena floor's wall)
Me: "What's this?"
Programmer: "It's the camera code so we can shoot."
Me: "We're about to go out for a match!"
Programmer: "Just connect it up!"
(We connect the cable and download the new program, then angle the robot so the camera's not pointing directly at the center goal just to be sure it's doing what it's supposed to do. As the match begins, the drive team watches with horror as Chomp speeds off full tilt in a straight line, ramming 1618's robot that happened to be there. The damage was minimal to both robots, thankfully. We ran the second match with the robot pointed at the field barrier behind us for autonomous.)
