Re: Famous Last Words

"We need you to code for a panning, tilting gun with an attatched camera module, which can fire while moving." -Device Team, day 8

"Done." -Programmers, week 3

"Forget the tilting part. Just change the gun speed ot adjust for distance" -Device team, week 3 1/2

"Forget the panning part. Just turn the robot." -Device team, week 4 1/2

"Umm... We cant' give you a sensor for gun speed." -Device Team, night before ship

"We accidentally drill pressed though the last drive train encoders" -Drive team, at regionals

Controls team just about killed a few people last year...
Our solution was to give some controls people machine shop training and put them on device teams next year. We still have 5 programmers, and hopefully this year the robot will live up to the code.

And of course, at regionals, "We're going to have to rebuild the drive train."
We heard that at nationals too... if only we had gotten it right the second time...
