Re: A Happy Tech Inspector Story
I would much rather hear this then hear the others bash FIRST...thanks for this!
Happy stories? Hmm...well, we broke a potentiometer on the arm. When we broke it, the code on the 'bot crashed--red light of doom (I still am not sure why...ACT OF GOD!), causing it to freeze in position, effectively keeping the elbow motor from binding/white smoking/other bad, bad things.
Within 5 minutes, we had a new pot mounted and recalibrated. (little did I know, during the next match it would "drift" 66 (yes, sixty-six) degrees, causing one of the presets to backdrive the elbow...I'm glad they caught it before destroying things)
That's the best story I've got. That, and the fact that I met 3 old friends, all made through FIRST at some point, over this weekend. Wow, that should be on the "Overdosed on FIRST if..." list...
