Hah, I've got a story from this year that wasn't even my fault. We were debugging out feedback controlled lift in AZ, and had just rewired the feedback pot and screwed it down into the proper place. The soft limits in the code hadn't been reset yet and we hadn't verified that everything was going in the proper directions, so I had the electrical team pull the breaker for the lift as well as for the drive motors since we were testing on the floor. A match came up , so I told the electrical team to replace the drive breakers. We sent the drive team out with the robot and presumably without a functioning lift. They come back 15-20 minutes later after the match, and our coach says "Hey, the lift worked great that match."

After I recovered from my heart attack, we determined that the electrical team misheard me and replaced all of the 40 amp breakers instead of just the lift breaker.
