Re: surefire ways to break you robot

A few things that happened to us:

Driver is egged on by a mentor to spin the robot with a arm holding a trackball straight up...

During the pre-ship scrimmage, my team didn't tell me they were testing automode... which consisted of the robot running full speed down the track and then reversing... sometimes I think 127 and type 0, which is why I tell them to test it on blocks.

On Thursday afternoon, I finally get to download code to test... and the robot inexplicably wouldn't turn on.

Try to add more IR receivers 30 seconds before the match...
