Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)
2006:
not so much a programming error, but i was wearing a bright green shirt while programming the robot. I was tuning the camera at the time, and stood next to the goal. the robot went out, and looked like it had found the target, except it kept running towards it. So, i get out of the way and go towards the disable switch and the thing starts to follow me, and proceeds to chase me around our practice field, shooting balls at me while i attempt to get to the button.
funny thing is, it never shot balls as well at the goal as it did at me. ow.
2007:
i used reverse logic for the camera positioning, which led it to spin out of control, while still having control over the arm. one thing led to another, and centripetal acceleration made the robot throw the tube at me. more of a laugh than an ow.
2008:
oh god.
so while programming hybrid it wasn't a priority for the first couple of runs to have the arm in the 'tucked' position- we only wanted it to drive around. So its going at high speed to the turn, and doesnt do it, instead ramming into the fencing on the other side, tearing the gripper to peices. oops.
at the championships i was making corrections for wall distance for the middle ball, and derived it to 285 counts. i typed 385. the robot hit the 3rd ball for no reason i could figure until i saw the code.
