Alright, so we're competing in Philadelphia on Friday, and I notice as the driver that the robot can no longer turn the left wheel forward (we have two-wheel drive). The funny thing is, reverse works fine. Since we're in the middle of a qualification match, however, I don't think about it,but I do what I can and get to the top of the ramp in reverse.

Once I get there and let go of the sticks, the left drive starts to jerk. I wonder if the joystick calibration is off, and compensate by moving the stick forward, holding on till the last second. The buzzer sounds, and I unhook our controller. That's when it happens.

Suddenly, our machine is no longer on the top of the ramp. At first I thought it had merely slid off because I had not positioned it correctly, but the still-going video of the match showed that the robot was actually moving under it's own power . Remember, the competition controls were not only disabled, but physically disconnected from power.




Anyone else have a robot gone wild story?
We had a problem with static at our regional where when the power was turned off our robot light was still going. This might have happened to your robot since you think there was a problem with your controller
