Re: why blame the programmers??

For years it has been a long running F.I.R.S.T inside joke, I can atest to that on my team that we always blame the programmers and the take it in stride and with a grain of salt but we always know who's fault it was weather it was electrical or mechanical, and if it ever is the programmers fault man do they hear it.

Re: why blame the programmers??

In all my seriousness, in my experiences, programming errors happen more than mechanical errors just because of the fact that, if you follow proper engineering procedures, it generally will not drastically alter the workings of the robot if one bolt is not tightened correctly, whereas the mistake of one character can destroy the entire code of a robot.
