Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

The funniest thing to me this year:

While in pits, I was often told to "fix my code" so that the robot would work. My response to this statement was "fix your wiring." 95% of the time our electrical guy would come out with a loose wire or a bad relay, and everything would work beautifully the second he fixed it (of course until the next "code" problem, that is) .

Yes, we are always blamed. Although the problem is not often our fault, we can almost always fix it, so we receive the blame . This year I had to compensate for a messed up control system and the fact that electrical wired up the motors backwards.

The other programmer working with me once threw this into my code while I wasn't looking:

this line will break your code xD;

It was one of my easier compile errors to fix. It's too bad we don't code in Python, otherwise that would have probably compiled if I included

import english
