Re: Stupidest Programming Mistakes
This isnt as stupid as it was an accident but I'm still not going to mention the guy who wrote it:
We had a winch system that would connect to our drive motors. The point was to engage the winch when the cable was taken off the robot and hooked on the bar (2 years ago). Well, he engaged the winch during autonomous and the aircraft cable (which doesnt break) was wraped around the frame of the robot and the dead reckoning code simply drove the motors. The cable just got tighter and tighter. Needless to say the 1/2 inch steel tubing was a little bent and the entire frame looked like a car wreck. Thats when we decided that only one guy should make the programming mistakes. |
