Re: surefire ways to break you robot

The other coder and I found a great way to break the bot.

For absolutely no reason whatsoever, IFI loader decided to change the file it was downloading to the bot to last years competition code. We didn't figure this out until after our next match. Before that match though, we were really freaking out. The lift wasn't responding at all, when the driving joysticks were pushed the full speed, two of the motors would reverse with for no apparent reason (we never did figure that one out). Luckily, we used mechanum wheels both years, so driving below max speed worked relatively well. No autonomous (thank god they hadnt gotten to that last year by the time they compiled this version). No lift, and no green light underglow either


Its all good now
