Robot Spins on Start

[Al Skierkiewicz]

In this case a Sharpie could have been a real friend. In the future use one to mark permanently the power inputs and motor outputs. They work the same with ugly markings as they do without and it ultimately will save big bucks. There really is not way to make protection for these devices to prevent mis-wiring.

Yes, you can sue the inattentive student(s) who wired these. And you can sue the ignorant student(s) who did not read the instructions for using these expensive pieces of equipment. While you are at it, also sue the mentor(s) who let inattentive and ignorant students near a robot. Those actions will definitely ensure that reverse polarity will neither happen again, nor will damage Jaguars if it does.
