Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

I had another screw up at Atlanta-
I had gotten our hybrid code to finally work thanks to Q (1024, THANK YOU SO MUCH) and I forgot to switch the bot to low gear to start with - so this thing was going too fast for me to get a good angle on the IR board to throw the stop button and it SLAMS full speed into the opposing player station. I go out to reset the bot (practice match) and a ref says to me "Can you do something about that autonomous? That was a little rough"
Hehe, yeah I changed it promptly.
Who knew a single variable could be so deadly?
