Whenever I get my hands on the robot, I end up running it into a wall (oops, I wrote the hybrid code wrong).

On the bright side, the mechanical people always end up adding extra reinforcement to the parts I bend/break.

Re: surefire ways to break you robot

Not having an actual disable switch, so you make one, wire it backwards because the diagram confused someone, and fry the OI. Then you're done for a while.

poor programmers/electrical people. they get such a small amount of time to do so much! and this is real sympathy.

This one makes me laugh in retrospect.
