Re: why blame the programmers??

The one I always find happens with me, is the robot code works flawlessly for 4 or 5 matches, then spontaneously STOPS working properly. I get told to check the code, and my response is invariably "code doesn't change on its own, if it worked before, then one of its inputs has changed, or ceased functioning" Its often that an encoder has died, or something along those lines.
