Re: Programming jokes

Well as it seems this has gone to just programming stories, I'll share one of my own.

This year we decided not to have an autonomous.....I'm not sure why.
Our programmers were absent for a lot of meetings so that might have a lot to do with it.

However, sometime our robot would spontaneously drive backwards. We don't know why and we occasionally lined up facing our wall. We would end up speeding across the field and then having to come all the way back. Sometimes we would just twitch in place a few times or grind up against the wall.

It was kind of scary because we didn't know what caused it, it only happened occasionally, and we're pretty sure we never touched the auton programming....
