(ROFLMAO...) Don't talk about your programmers' work that way...I'm sure there was a completely and irrefutably logical reason the robot did what it did...
Like, for instance, it might be communicating with aliens. Or practicing a mating ritual with the other robots. Or it might just be there to keep your blood pressure up...but there's a reason it's messing up.
Let your programmers figure it out and be patient. They will discover their stupid mistake and they will fix it.

Common drivers...can't figure out why the robot loves kissing the wall...jeez!
But seriously, I still find myself staring at the robot, even when I know that I haven't changed the code one bit since the last match where it looked pretty for the first 15 seconds. These control systems...I swear they're haunted. Maybe IFI's manufacturing facility is right above an ancient burial ground or something...
