Re: why blame the programmers??

Wow, I hope there is lots of joking in this thread. As someone who has programmed PLCs for machinery I am impressed that these programmers can get so much functionality in so little time. They are the last people who can test there work. They are the only ones that can work after the 6 week build but unless you have the luxury of a test robot they cannot test their code until the competition. The worst part is that their errors can be the most noticible, dead robot, erratic behavior,etc.
