Re: why blame the programmers??

Because the mechanical guys always finish late and give electrical and software guys the last 3 days to make it magically work o.

And because the mechanical guys can't get it through their head that the robot itself is part of the servo feedback. The software can't be fully tested w/o working hardware - the gyro does not work while the robot is shaking itself apart - etc, etc, etc Classic comment: It works perfectly on the stand but not on the ground!! It has to be a software problem. Hehehe...

Just kidding (mostly) - I appreciate those mechanical guys!
