Every time haha.
In 2007 our robot was about 4" over the size limit when extended out. So we spent the entire day Thursday hacking away at our robot. Friday we came in and our robot went on the fritz, literally. It ran into the side posts, ran circles, freaked out. Bent our ball forks (4 mentors 5 students to bend them out). Ended up metal shavings got into our controller and slowly fried it. We didn't realize until the end of the day.
Mechanical blamed electrical, electrical blamed programming, programming freaked out, turns out it was mechanical leading to failure of electrical making programming go crazy.
