Re: surefire ways to break you robot

- Run hybrid mode with tether or programming cables plugged in (Seriously, I have no idea why, but it screwed up our hybrid every time we did it)

- Try to program with a homemade cable that happened to have one of the wires get yanked from one of the pins (You have never seen the RC flash so many error messages and strange patterns of lights)

- Make your own field, get gripper caught in lane divider (We didn't have any lexan/plexiglass/whatever over the bars) and then turn your robot in an attempt to get it unstuck

- Tweak the values for your hybrid code "Just a little bit"

- Build a cart that doesn't have anything to prevent the robot from just rolling off

- Run your hybrid code without first resetting the gyro
