Re: Any Funny Stories This Season?

Three programming stories:

We were testing autonomous, and it was supposed to drive to a certain distance from the wall using a control loop, but no matter ho much we mangled the code, it always drove backward into a wall. Nothing broken, but it took a long time to fix that to drive forward.

Then, in the second to last match, we discovered a prescaler in the code to slow the robot down for safety. Once removed, it worked so much better!

We finally got our autonomous working perfectly... after the very last match!
