So the jokes have digressed into funny stories. Here's one of mine.

Last year our autonomous code drove the bot to the middle of the field, where it spun in circles really fast. It made the announcer's job easy: "360 is doing 360s!". Many people thought it was misbehaving, but really it was to hit and turn light-seeking shooters way off their path. In the finals, there was a bot that drove straight up to the low goal and dumped 10 balls. I just took out "254-" in order to drive the robot straight, which with a little alignment and a speed increase shot us across the field and blocked the goal.

Somebody came up to me afterwards and said "Hey! I see you fixed the autonomous!" When really it had been working just as I'd wanted all along.
