Re: Programming goofs!
In 2005, I was a sophomore and the lead programmer for the rookie team 1519. On Thursday, I was testing some broken autonomous code, and suddenly we had to go play a practice match before I could revert back. All I knew is that the robot was going to drive straight for a long time, probably until a variable overflowed.
For whatever mechanical reasons, the robot didn't actually go straight. Instead it made a graceful arc, slipping through the narrow gap between the goals and careening at top speed into our opponents on the opposite corner of the field.
On Saturday, they picked us.

My team heard another team describe the Championships as "10,000 kids jamming the Georgia Dome for 3 days…more nerds per square foot than a Star Trek convention…and more purposefully employed "
