Ha!

But when you think of it, you have to be very careful with both electrical and programming -- one mistake with either and things don't go right! And this robot did start right up, first try!

Actually, I think all our "new" group of programmers have been thru the shop, either in class or the after-school robotics. It probably should be a requirement that the programmers should suffer the shopwork, so that last week before ship day, when the shop crew thinks everything is finished and go home and leave that "minor programming stuff" to us programmers in the late night hours, and the robot breaks we won't have to wait until "normal business hours" for the robot to be repaired.

You're right, Molten, at this rate we will soon have just the programmers design, build, wire, program, and drive the robot!
