Re: Programming jokes

Our Aim High robot had a wish to kill us all.

The night before ship, we were fixing our auto mode.

The robot starts the auto, drives towards the goal, camera sees the light, bot turns to the drivers direction (which is exactly the opposite direction of the goal) and shoots the drivers with poofs.

after a fix, the bot worked well for a while.
Another test a few minutes later (wanted to make the auto quicker). The bot goes to the goal, spins to our direction drives a bit forward charging us. We see that it's shooter mechanism is on, and it's gonna start shooting balls soon. We all duck, in order to avoid te coming balls, when suddenly the robot moves its cannon down, exactly with us ducking. After a few checks we realized why he did it. Someone put the goal in the auto at a height of 1 meter instead of 2.

We also had a window in our gym, where we tested auto. the window, apparently, reflected the green light, and one time the bot got the window as its target. By the time we disabled the bot, it already broke the window witha poof.
