Our new motto: "Every mechanical issue can be related back to programming."

It looks like that the same thing happened to you guys, too. We were just a bit luckier...

Our programmer must like driving into walls...Or he likes making the mechanical team work...

One night of Build season we were having an issue with getting our drive working, and we eventually found the issue in our wiring. Our head programmer then ran around the room yelling "it wasn't a programming issue! Woooo!" You can tell we usuly give him a hard time.

There was the ball prank that happened to us at the MAR District Championship and then we took 316's robot and hid from them after they left. They found it easily enough. Personally, I don't have any funny stories this season, cus everything worked on the first try programming wise, except for gyro functions. The only thing that happened when making those functions is that the robot spun around.

You have no idea how many times the same thing happened to me! The instant something goes wrong with the robot, everyone stares at me and tells me to go over my code again. And you know what? Out of all the times something went wrong, there was only one programming issue. The rest were usually electrical issues.
