Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

This year I wrote code so that when our secondary driver held a switch, the claw on our robot would automatically grab a track ball if one entered the claw (we did this using an IR rangefinder). This code was finished and first tested during a competition match at the West Michigan Regional . Due to an unfortunate glitch, the claw refused to relinquish the first ball it grabbed. When the team asked what was going on, I quipped:

"You said you wanted the claw to automatically grab the ball. You never said anything about letting go of it."

The glitch was gone five minutes later.
