Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

I wrote out autonomous code, compiled it (no build errors, yes!) and put it on our school's server to use on the computer in the front of the room, where another kid downloaded it onto the robot. I told my coach it was ok to go ahead and test it... so he did... and it went full forward, raising the arm. He almost lost his projector from the ceiling, but found the power button first.
Moral of the story: do not test a robot in a confined space with lots of valuable things. Or, just don't trust me when I say it should work.
