Yah we did that during build time, too. turn on the robot, not expecting anything to happen (yet) and the robot goes flying backwards. a couple of our team members run after it and hold it until someone can hit the breaker. after we pick up the bot, we notice it burned two holes thorugh the carpet

one of our matches at nats, our partner was faster than us, I programed in a 3 second delay in or auton code, or so i thought..... autonomous starts and 3 out of the 4 robots on the field start moving, only the stationary bot isn't us, it's our partners. meanwhile, we go flying up the ramp and knock down one side of the boxes. somehow our code get reset, so we back all the way off the ramp, rotate, then go forward again, knocking down the other side of the boxes!
I guess our robot wasn't happy being told to sit and stay
