Ergh, happened to us 30 minutes before shipping. We where finally loading the final drivers code for our first full test and someone turned off the robot while the code was still loading, and no one could remember how to hard-reset the RC.

Ramming the most delicate part of the robot into the lane divider in a completely unnecessary defensive move (we where trying to prevent a set with about 3 seconds left to go, half a field away from the overpass).
