We have gotten the 8.2 bug on multiple occasions. Sometimes we'll turn on the robot and it'll go freaking crazy (right track at full speed and drive the arm all the way up, fortunately it seems to obey the limit switch and not overdrive it). We'll hit the disable switch and read the OI, lo' and behold it reads 8.2.
After a complete power cycle (kill main breaker and hit the reset button to power off the RC), sometimes we have to do it twice, it'll work just fine.

I believe this code is the 2007 default plus all of the changes we've made. We did not get this bug in any previous years and we don't know what made this happen this year.
