Re: [FTC]: Playing Forensic Roboticist.

Mysteriously, software errors have not been our biggest problem, although we did lose a pair of drive motors when a robot went into "drive full speed forever" in autonomous and the referees wouldn't let our drive team retrieve the robot before the motors released their magic smoke. This affected all four robots in the match, although only two smoked their motors. In one other incident where it took the FMS about 15 minutes to talk to one of our robots (that had happily talked to the same controller an hour before), our on-field software incidents have been very few. We use RobotC.
