Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

Another funny one I got is when in autonomous, this year, we were in a practice match in the regionals at L.A. and it was the first time we were going to test autonomous, my autonomous was just said to drive straight, but what I forgot was that one wheel rotated faster then the other, and in my autonomous code I had the robot going full speed. So autonomous starts, and the left motor goes super fast, and the right goes semi fast, and it veers and hits the center divider really hard. Teleop mode starts, and our driver can't start the robot, we go down to check it out after the match, and the battery cable had come unconnected, as well, as other cables, all because of my autonomous, boy did I get yelled at after that.
