Re: How to get -130 In penalties

I watched that video and couldn't stop laughing - because we've all been there.

Last year our robot kept chasing one of team members no matter what we did to it. If he was left, the robot went left, etc.

Later we mis-adjusted a pid loop and our arm flailed around like it was trying to swat flies.

I personally backed the robot into a door and broke the lock mechanism.

While programming autonomous we couldn't figure out why we kept ploughing into the rack. Then we realized that our arm was 5 feet long, not at the center of the robot like the camera.

I feel a little bad for the guys, but at the same time, maintain your sense of humor. It's over, it's done with. Look back at it, laugh, and say "yep, that was us!"
