Re: Any funny stories during the season?

My FIRST year I was drafted to program the robot. I said sure, why not? Well everyone on the team was new as well as myself and we had no idea about calibrating victors, or using a dongle. And of course none of us thought to put the robot up on blocks before turning it on. Well we flipped it on and it proceeded to spin at full speed. Desks were flying all over, and another mentor almost got his legs broken when he tried to jump on its back. FINALLY another mentor managed to recall that if he unplugged the driver station that the robot would stop. Good times!
