Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

Mine would be this year, before the Buckeye Regional when trying out autonomous code back at the school. We didn't have the robot, so I downloaded the code to our motorized cart. And some how, no matter what the dongle was set to, it would always be in auto mode.
A few days later when I fixed that, I was experimenting w/ joy stick control. Ended up giving it an emergency stop. where you had to hold down the trigger button in order to move. While it was a good idea so accidental movement didn't happen, it wasn't practical.
The 'funnest' was when the 'testing' auto. code kicked in randomly when moving the cart. While packing stuff on, it bumped the switch and that was that.
