Re: why blame the programmers??

Ugh, as a former programmer and head of Electrical for my team, I remember being crunched for time as Mechanical would take their time building things and wait until the last few days to assemble everything, leaving me with only a few days to properly code and test everything.

I would get it running decently, and then at a competition something would suddenly stop working after a few matches. It's not the programmer's fault if a badly soldered wire to a solenoid broke, or if the tension in some chain caused the gears to slip. >_>

Plus some members of the team don't see typing on a keyboard very productive until you actually upload code to the robot...
