Re: surefire ways to break you robot
create a competition port box on your controls so that you can enable/disable for testing and practice, leave the "auto mode" switch on, and enable robot on cart with no blocks to charge pneumatics. Then, watch as your robot zooms off the cart in front of you and into a people barrier. Frantically look for someone other than yourself to blame for leaving the switch thrown even though you are the driver.

Oh and do this before a quarterfinal match at FLR lol.
